Protection Of Sensitive Data In Clouds Using Active Privacy Bundles And Agent-Based Multi-Party Computation, Akram Sarhan

Akram YM Sarhan

The lack of the protection tools and the fast pace of technological advancement make people unable to control privacy of their data in clouds and other distribution environments. We propose an approach called Active Privacy Bundles with Multi-Party Computation (APB-MPC), that protects senesitive data and identities of their owners/guardians during the entire data lifecycle in clouds or other distribution systems. Our research has three goals: (i) proctecting sensitive data without centralized trusted third parties (TTPs); (ii) using APB and MPC for identity management without centralized TTPs; and (iii) exploiting parallelism for efficient data dissemination.
