Payments for Outsourced Computations

IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2012
With the recent advent of cloud computing, the concept of outsourcing computations, initiated by volunteer computing efforts, is being revamped. While the two paradigms differ in several dimensions, they also share challenges, stemming from the lack of trust between outsourcers and workers.

Fair Payments for Outsourced Computations

2010 7th Annual IEEE Communications Society Conference on Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks (SECON), 2010
Initiated by volunteer computing efforts, the computation outsourcing problem can become a compelling application for networked set-top-boxes and mobile devices. In this paper we extend such environments with the ability to provide secure payments in exchange for outsourced CPU cycles.

Outsourcing the university computer lab

Computer, 2005
Saint Louis University created a 24/7 remotely accessible "computer laboratory" where students receive full server administration privileges to use in developing their server, networking, security, and database administration skills using the Linux operating system. The university's decision to outsource the computer lab to MDK was simple.

Secure Outsourced Computation

2011
The development of multi-party computation was one of the early achievements of theoretical cryptography. Since that time a number of papers have been published which look at specific application scenarios (e-voting, e-auctions), different security guarantees (computational vs unconditional), different adversarial models (active vs passive, static vs ...

Outsourcing computation of modular exponentiations in cloud computing

Cluster Computing, 2013
Cloud computing is an emerging computing paradigm in which IT resources and capacities are provided as services over the Internet. Promising as it is, this paradigm also brings forth new challenges for security when users want to securely outsource the computation of cryptographic operations to the untrusted cloud servers.

Secure outsourced computation of iris matching

Journal of Computer Security, 2012
Today biometric data propagate more heavily into our lives. With more ubiquitous use of such data, computations over biometrics become more prevalent as well. While it is well understood that privacy of biometric data must be protected, often computations over biometric data involve untrusted participants or servers, let it be a cross check between ...

Verifiable Outsourced Computation

Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing, 2017
I will review recent (and not so recent) research on the topic of Verifiable Outsourced Computation. The problem of verifying the correctness of computations done by untrusted parties was a driving motivation behind some of the most celebrated results in Complexity Theory in the 90's, from Interactive Proofs to the PCP Theorem.

Multi-client Outsourced Computation

2016
In this paper, we study multi-client outsourced computation where n computationally weak clients outsource their computation of a function f over their joint inputs $$x_1,\cdots ,x_n$$x1,i¾?,xn to remote servers. Some prior works consider outsourcing computation to an untrusted server.

On secure outsourcing of cryptographic computations to cloud

Proceedings of the 2nd international workshop on Security in cloud computing, 2014
For the past few years, research works on the topic of secure outsourcing of cryptographic computations has drawn significant attention from academics in security and cryptology disciplines as well as information security practitioners. One main reason for this interest is their application for resource constrained devices such as RFID tags.

Securely outsourcing linear algebra computations

Proceedings of the 5th ACM Symposium on Information, Computer and Communications Security, 2010
We give improved protocols for the secure and private outsourcing of linear algebra computations, that enable a client to securely outsource expensive algebraic computations (like the multiplication of large matrices) to a remote server, such that the server learns nothing about the customer's private input or the result of the computation, and any ...
