Data confidentiality and computations hiding in cloud services for public administration

Abstract

Cloud services are gaining interest and are very interesting option for public administration. Although, there is a lot of concern about security and privacy of storing personal data in cloud. In this work mathematical tools for securing data and hiding computations are presented. Data privacy is obtained by using homomorphic encryption schemes. Computation hiding is done by algorithm cryptographic obfuscation. Both primitives are presented and their application for public administration is discussed.
