Abstract
In this paper, privacy preserving at the cloud side is enabled by adopting Homomorphic Encryption (HE) as a major solution for protecting users' sensitive data. As a Proof Of Concept (POC), we take the case of a university that is adopting the cloud as a practical method for storing and operating over its private data. The main contribution of this application is that different data are stored encrypted at the cloud side. Students' data such as name, gender, date of birth, etc are encrypted using AES and hash functions. Students' indexes and grades are encrypted homomorphically using our modified Domingo Ferrer (DF) encryption scheme [1]. The main importance of the usage of HE in this application is allowing the process over encrypted data at the cloud side such as computing encrypted students' average. Different queries are sent from the university side to the cloud side, after operating and processing over encrypted data all results are shipped back encrypted to the university where the primitive data is recovered. Cloud infrastructure is created using Apache CloudStack and different encryption schemes are implemented under Python using SageMath library.
