The rapid development of cloud computing promotes a wide deployment of data and
computation outsourcing to cloud service providers by resource-limited entities. Based on a …

Recently, the rapid advance in genome sequencing technology has led to production of
huge amount of sensitive genomic data. However, a serious privacy challenge is confronted …

Recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies have put ubiquitous availability of fully
sequenced human genomes within reach. It is no longer hard to imagine the day when …

The rapid progress in human-genome sequencing is leading to a high availability of
genomic data. This data is notoriously very sensitive and stable in time. It is also highly …

The emergence of cost-effective cloud services offers organizations great opportunity to
reduce their cost and increase productivity. This development, however, is hampered by …

In this paper, we propose privacy-enhancing technologies for medical tests and
personalized medicine methods that use patients' genomic data. Focusing on genetic …

Motivation: Personal genomes carry inherent privacy risks and protecting privacy poses
major social and technological challenges. We consider the case where a user searches for …

An operation preceding most human DNA analyses is read map**, which aligns millions
of short sequences (called reads) to a reference genome. This step involves an enormous …

Geneticists prefer to store patients' aligned, raw genomic data, in addition to their variant
calls (compact and summarized form of the raw data), mainly because of the immaturity of …

The computation of bilinear pairings has been considered the most expensive operation in
pairing-based cryptographic protocols. In this paper, we first propose an efficient and secure …
