In this paper, we study the problem of secure cloud storage in a multi-user setting such that the ownership of outsourced files can be hidden against the cloud server. There is a group manager for initiating the system, who is also responsible for issuing private keys for the involved group members. All authorized members are able to outsource files to the group’s storage account at some cloud server. Although the ownership of outsourced file is preserved against the cloud server, the group manager could trace the true identity of any suspicious file for liability investigation. To address this issue, we …

To ensure quality and trustworthiness of mobile apps, Google Play store imposes various developer policies. Once an app is reported for exhibiting policy-violating behaviors, it is removed from the store to protect users. Currently, Google Play store relies on mobile users’ feedbacks to identify policy violations. Our paper takes the first step towards understanding these policy-violating apps. First, we crawl 302 Android apps, which are reported in the Reddit forum by mobile users for policy violations and are later removed from the Google Play store. Second, we perform empirical analysis, which reveals that many violating behaviors have not been studied …

Attribute-based encryption (ABE) enables an access control mechanism over encrypted data by specifying access policies over attributes associated with private keys or ciphertexts, which is a promising solution to protect data privacy in cloud storage services. As an encryption system that involves many data users whose attributes might change over time, it is essential to provide a mechanism to selectively revoke data users’ attributes in an ABE system. However, most of the previous revokable ABE schemes consider how to disable revoked data users to access (newly) encrypted data in the system, and there are few of them that can be …
