Verifiable Computation on Outsourced Encrypted Data
, 2014 On one hand, homomorphic encryption allows a cloud server to perform computation on outsourced encrypted data but provides no verifiability that the computation is correct. On the other hand, homomorphic authenticator, such as homomorphic signature with public verifiability and homomorphic MAC with private verifiability, guarantees authenticity of ...

Incentivized Outsourced Computation Resistant to Malicious Contractors [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing, 2017 With the rise of Internet computing, outsourcing difficult computational tasks became an important need. Yet, once the computation is outsourced, the job owner loses control, and hence it is crucial to provide guarantees against malicious actions of the contractors involved.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Decarbonization of the economy is a central challenge in the fight against climate change. Although most governments show clear commitment to limiting global warming, the drivers of corporate decarbonization remain underexplored. Using a dataset of 1052 firms from OECD, this article analyses how intangible assets and environmental innovation ...
