Cloud Cryptography: Theory, Practice and Future Research Directions

Searchable Encryption: A Review

“…Most of the previous work done on SE to improve secrecy motivated by adversary activity [20], [21]. Some adversary activities include brute force attack [20], search/access pattern leakage [8], [21] and DDoS attack [5]. To proof that any scheme or algorithm developed was resistant enough from attacks or adversary activities, system model and threat model were constructed for experimental purposes [3], [14].…”

“…Cloud computing is one of advent technologies that support easy deployment application systems with a low-cost implementation which offer Pay-Per-Use basis [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. The emergence of cloud or mobile computing dramatically emerges the growth of the mobile commerce, mobile learning, mobile health and mobile gaming [8] which acquire availability and reliability of services 24 by 7.…”

“…Cloud computing is always considered as an untrusted or semi-trusted server since all the servers and storage are located physically at Cloud Service Provider (CSP) premise [3], [5]. This untrusted server tends to contribute to the privacy and security issues [3], [4], [5], [6]. One of the main security issues is data confidentiality.…”

“…personal information) is safe from unauthorized access. Recently, cryptography or encryption is regarded as a promising method for data confidentiality [5], [7], [8].…”

Cloud Security Engineering: Theory, Practice and Future Research

“…There is, however, no perfect security and when a security incident involving cloud services occurs, digital investigation will require the identification, preservation and analysis of evidential data (Ab Rahman and Choo 2015;Quick, Martini and Choo 2013). Therefore, it is unsurprising that cloud security has seen significant research interest recently (Al Said and Rana 2014;Choo, Domingo-Ferrer and Zhang 2016;Li et al 2015;Rahulamathavan et al 2014). …”
