“…Lastly, the most relevant works in comparison with our work are [7], [26], [39], [44]. In [39], Xia et al introduced the watermarking technique to a privacy-preserving contentbased image retrieval scheme in cloud computing, which can prevent the user from illegally distributing the retrieved images.…”

“…Unfortunately, Problem 3 was not addressed. Dong et al designed a plaintext image cloud sharing protocol [44], in which the owner's copyright and the user's right are protected together by combining the restrained Paillier cryptosystem and the spread spectrum watermarking scheme. For this protocol, although the illegal distribution of cloud can be traced by embedding the cloud's watermark in plaintext images, Problem 1 is not solved because the image content is completely exposed to the cloud.…”

The advent of the big data era drives the media data owner to seek help from the cloud platform for data hosting and sharing. Sharing media data through the cloud suffers three key security/privacy problems including the leakage of data privacy, the infringement on the data owner's copyright, and the infringement on the user's right. Existing techniques such as attribute-based encryption, proxy re-encryption, and asymmetric fingerprinting are insufficient to solve all three problems. In this work, we consider the scheme design of being capable of addressing these three problems simultaneously. Associating the additive homomorphic proxy re-encryption technique with the asymmetric fingerprinting based on user-side embedding, we bring forward two novel cloud media sharing schemes: CREAMS-I and CREAMS-II. Among them, CREAMS-II has better security performance, while CREAMS-I has more outstanding cloud-side efficiency. It is demonstrated that both proposed schemes can solve the existing three problems well and have advantages over existing peers. In addition, these two schemes can also be seen as an instantiation of privacy-preserving outsourcing of asymmetric fingerprinting, from which the owner can reap substantial savings in local storage, communication, and computing resources. The feasibility of CREAMS-I and CREAMS-II is also verified by simulation.

“…A study conducted by [20] analyzes relevant laws, regulations, and policies in Sudan, identifying gaps and the need for a robust legal framework that addresses data sovereignty and security concerns while enabling cloud technology adoption. The results highlight the lack of a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework for cloud computing in Sudan, which can hinder adoption and raise concerns about data protection and security.…”

The aim of this research is to assess the Role of Cloud Storage in Rebuilding Governmental Data After Conflict, with a deeper insight into Sudanese case. To investigate the role of cloud storage in rebuilding governmental data after conflict in Sudan, this study employs a quantitative research methodology. The primary data collection instrument is a structured questionnaire designed to gather insights and perspectives from 80 participants of key stakeholders involved in the cloud storage adoption and data reconstruction efforts in Sudan, including (IT professionals and data management experts, Senior-level government officials and policymakers, Representatives from cloud service providers, End-users and data consumers from various government agencies). The collected data underwent accurate statistical analysis, including descriptive and inferential techniques, to identify patterns, trends, and relationships among the variables under investigation. Quantitative data was analyzed using "SPSS" statistical software. The findings of the research revealed that, a total of 18 participants representing (22.5%) agree that there is a high level of awareness and understanding of cloud storage technologies among government agencies in Sudan, while 28 participants representing (35%) disagree. Which indicates the need of spreading the awareness and understanding of cloud storage technologies among government agencies in Sudan. Furthermore, Pearson Chi-Square test was used to measure the role of cloud storage in rebuilding governmental data after conflict in Sudan, a significance value of (0.021) which is less than (p-value=.05) suggests that there is a significant role of cloud storage in rebuilding governmental data after conflict in Sudan.

“…During the past few years, some pioneering research has been proposed in this field. The advancement of a combination between watermarking and cryptography is fostered [22][23][24][25][26][27]. For information hiding, Bianchi et al [28] have investigated how to implement the discrete Fourier transform in the encrypted domain.…”

With the advent of cloud computing and social multimedia communication, more and more social images are being collected on social media platforms, such as Facebook, TikTok, Flirk, and YouTube. The amount of social images produced and disseminated is rapidly increasing. Meanwhile, cloud computing-assisted social media platforms have made social image dissemination more and more efficient. There exists an unstoppable trend of fake/unauthorized social image dissemination. The growth of social image sharing underscores potential security risks for illegal use, such as image forgery, malicious copying, piracy exposure, plagiarism, and misappropriation. Therefore, secure social image dissemination has become urgent and critical on social media platforms. The authors propose a secure scheme for social image dissemination on social media platforms. The main objective is to make a map between the tree structure Haar (TSH) transform and the hierarchical community structure of a social network. First, perform the TSH transform on a social image using social network analysis (SNA). Second, all users in a social media platform are coded using SNA. Third, watermarking and encryption are performed in a compressed domain for protecting social image dissemination. Finally, the encrypted and watermarked contents are delivered to users via a hybrid multicast–unicast scheme. The use of encryption along with watermarking can provide double protection for social image dissemination. The theory analysis and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
