      Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings.

    • Secure and efficient outsourcing of sequence comparisons 

      Blanton, Marina; Atallah, Mikhail J.; Frikken, Keith B.; Malluhi, Qutaibah ( Springer , 2012 , Conference)
      We treat the problem of secure outsourcing of sequence comparisons by a client to remote servers, which given two strings λ and μ of respective lengths n and m, consists of finding a minimum-cost sequence of insertions, ...

    • Maintaining database anonymity in the presence of queries 

      Riley, Ryan; Clifton, Chris; Malluhi, Qutaibah ( Springer , 2013 , Conference)
      With the advent of cloud computing there is an increased interest in outsourcing an organization's data to a remote provider in order to reduce the costs associated with self-hosting. If that database contains information ...

    • Secure and private outsourcing of shape-based feature extraction 

      Wang, Shumiao; Nassar, Mohamed; Atallah, Mikhail; Malluhi, Qutaibah ( Springer , 2013 , Conference)
