Security Techniques for Cloud Computing

报告简介：

This talk focuses on security techniques that can be tailored for cloud computing which serves as a distributed data storage and software service/application provider. Specifically, we investigate public key encryption that allows the owner of a resource constrained device such as a Google Chromebook to retrieve a ``forgotten'' message from an encrypted email he sent out earlier. This type of public key encryption with ``backward recovery'' contrasts more widely analyzed public key encryption with ``forward secrecy''. We advocate that together they form two sides of a whole coin, whereby offering complementary roles in cloud computing, 3G/4G communications and other emerging computing and communication platforms.

报告人简介：

Professor Yuliang Zheng is widely known as the father of signcryption and is internationally recognized as an authority in cryptography and network security. He has published over 200 scholarly articles and books on security and holds a multiple number of patents in cyber security. He plays an active, leadership role in international research communities, co-founding the annual Public Key Cryptography (PKC) conference sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) and the annual International Conference on Information Theoretic Security (ICITS). In addition, he serves on the steering committees for a number of research and industrial forums including PKC (Chair of the PKC steering committee since 2007), ICITS, Information Security Conference (ISC), and IEEE Information Assurance Standards Committee. Professor Zheng was invited to serve as an associate editor of The Computer Journal published by the Oxford University Press and as a guest editor for the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. His pioneering work on immunizing public key encryption against adaptive attacks has been embodied in a multiple number of international standards including ISO, IEEE and IETF. Currently, ISO is in the process of establishing a set of new standards on signcryption techniques invented by Professor Zheng.
