TU Dublin is delighted to present the next talk in their Cyber Security Seminar Series, with guest speaker Professor Kevin Curran.
“Preserving Data/Query Privacy Using Searchable Symmetric Encryption”
The benefits of Cloud computing include reduced costs, high reliability, as well as the immediate availability of additional computing resources as needed. Despite such advantages, Cloud Service Provider (CSP) consumers need to be aware that the Cloud poses its own set of unique risks that are not typically associated with storing and processing one’s own data internally using privately owned infrastructure. Recent years have seen a number of such incidents occur, whereby customer data hosted on the Cloud has been leaked. The ideal solution to achieving an optimal balance of data security and functionality within the Cloud involves the CSP having the ability to search and operate on data while it is in encrypted form.
Kevin Curran is a Professor of Cyber Security, Co-Executive Director of the Legal Innovation Centre and group leader of the Cyber Security & Web Technologies Research Group at Ulster University.Professor Curran has made significant contributions to advancing the knowledge and understanding of computer networks and security, evidenced by over 800 published works.
