Rainbow offers a secure multi-cloud service for retrieving personally identifiable information (PII). This system ensures data privacy, fine-grained access control, and efficient user revocation, addressing key challenges in PII sharing.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Cryptography
- Cloud Computing
Background:
- Sharing personally identifiable information (PII) is vital for public affairs but poses privacy risks.
- Multi-cloud PII retrieval services offer stability but face technical hurdles.
- Existing solutions lack flexible access control, efficient user revocation, and data integrity verification.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose Rainbow, a secure and practical scheme for PII retrieval over multi-cloud environments.
- To address challenges in PII privacy, access control, user revocation, and data verification.
- To introduce a novel cryptographic tool, Reliable Outsourced Attribute Based Encryption (ROABE).
Main Methods:
- Designed Reliable Outsourced Attribute Based Encryption (ROABE) for data privacy, fine-grained access control, and efficient revocation.
- Developed the Rainbow scheme integrating ROABE with cloud technologies for multi-cloud deployment.
- Evaluated Rainbow's performance and security on major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
Main Results:
- ROABE provides data privacy, flexible access control, and reliable user revocation across multiple servers.
- Rainbow demonstrates secure and practical PII retrieval in real-world multi-cloud settings.
- Experiments on mobile and computer browsers confirm Rainbow's efficiency and security.
Conclusions:
- Rainbow effectively solves critical challenges in secure multi-cloud PII retrieval.
- The proposed ROABE cryptographic tool is central to Rainbow's security and functionality.
- Rainbow offers a viable solution for privacy-preserving PII sharing in public services.
