Project 313 (2nd year)
Privacy-preserving Information Protection Management System
| Today, people frequently access information on their laptops, cell-phones and various kinds of mobile devices. Many envision a world of ubiquitous computing devices that require persistent information storage. In pursuing a persistent global storage system, privacy and trust is among the most important issue. In the past, information protection (privacy) is usually achieved through access control using complex cryptography algorithms. In this project, we propose a new information protection architecture with two foci. The first one deals with the efficient encryption & decryption of data while reducing the cost of keys (access rights) revocation. The other one is to build around existing and emerging trusted computing technologies. This architecture can be applied for securing any sequence of version-based data or services such as patients' records or e-books. In these applications, information owners or service providers not only need a method to enhance the trust of users and the platform, but also a simple and efficient way to protect data using cryptography. Eventually, we hope to provide a secure method, enabling users to use any device to access information anytime, anywhere. |
