In this paper, we analyze the key homomorphic technique used in constructions of functional encryption schemes and point out its weakness in efficiency. Based on this, we propose two improved homomorphic techniques and show their advantages and weaknesses through the method of comparison.

Privacy Issues

AbstractClassification algorithms/tools become more and more powerful and pervasive. Yet, for some use cases, it is necessary to be able to protect data privacy while benefiting from the functionalities they provide. Among the tools that may be used to ensure such privacy, we are focusing in this paper on functional encryption. These relatively new cryptographic primitives enable the evaluation of functions over encrypted inputs, outputting cleartext results. Theoretically, this property makes them well-suited to process classification over encrypted data in a privacy by design’ rationale, enabling to perform the classification algorithm over encrypted inputs (i.e. without knowing the inputs) while only getting the input classes as a result in the clear.In this paper, we study the security and privacy issues of classifiers using today practical functional encryption schemes. We provide an analysis of the information leakage about the input data that are processed in the encrypted domain with state-of-the-art functional encryption schemes. This study, based on experiments ran on MNIST and Census Income datasets, shows that neural networks are able to partially recover information that should have been kept secret. Hence, great care should be taken when using the currently available functional encryption schemes to build privacy-preserving classification services. It should be emphasized that this work does not attack the cryptographic security of functional encryption schemes, it rather warns the community against the fact that they should be used with caution for some use cases and that the current state-ofthe-art may lead to some operational weaknesses that could be mitigated in the future once more powerful functional encryption schemes are available.

Background: Data which are in the form of text, audio, image and video are used everywhere in our modern scientific world. These data are stored in physical storage, cloud storage and other storage devices. Some of it are very sensitive and requires efficient security while storing as well as in transmitting from the sender to the receiver. Objective: With the increase in data transfer operation, enough space is also required to store these data. Many researchers have been working to develop different encryption schemes, yet there exist many limitations in their works. There is always a need for encryption schemes with smaller cipher data, faster execution time and low computation cost. Methods: A text encryption based on Huffman coding and ElGamal cryptosystem is proposed. Initially, the text data is converted to its corresponding binary bits using Huffman coding. Next, the binary bits are grouped and again converted into large integer values which will be used as the input for the ElGamal cryptosystem. Results: Encryption and Decryption are successfully performed where the data size is reduced using Huffman coding and advance security with the smaller key size is provided by the ElGamal cryptosystem. Conclusion: Simulation results and performance analysis specifies that our encryption algorithm is better than the existing algorithms under consideration.

Set Up

In this chapter, we introduce public-key encryption. We first consider the motivation behind the concept of public-key cryptography and introduce the hard problems on which popular public-key encryption schemes are based. We then discuss two of the best-known public-key cryptosystems, RSA and ElGamal. For each of these public-key cryptosystems, we discuss how to set up key pairs and perform basic encryption and decryption. We also identify the basis for security for each of these cryptosystems. We then compare RSA, ElGamal, and elliptic-curve variants of ElGamal from the perspectives of performance and security. Finally, we look at how public-key encryption is used in practice, focusing on the popular use of hybrid encryption.
