题 目:Some Challenges towards Encrypted Cloud Media Centre
内容简介:With the proliferation of camera-equipped mobile devices, images and videos are becoming one of the key enablers of users' online connectivity. To effectively handle the explosive data growth, one common trend for many emerging social media sites, such as Instagram, Foursquare, Pinterest, etc., is to leverage the commercial public cloud as their robust backend datacenter, where users’ uploaded images and videos go straight to cloud rather than passing through their on-premise local physical infrastructures. While extremely convenient, directly exposing content-rich multimedia data to the public cloud also raises new acute privacy concerns. In light of the observation, in this talk we introduce our initial efforts towards an encrypted cloud media centre, where a number of problems related to cloud media services will be introduced over encrypted domain. Our major focus will be on a privacy-preserving social discovery service architecture based on encrypted images. As the core of such social discovery is to compare and quantify similar images, we first adopt the effective Bag-of-Words model to extract the “visual similarity content” of users’ images into image profile vectors, and then model the problem as similarity retrieval of encrypted high-dimensional image profiles. To support fast and scalable similarity search over hundreds of thousands of encrypted images, we propose a secure and efficient indexing structure. The resulting design enables social media sites to obtain secure, practical, and accurate social discovery from the public cloud, without disclosing the encrypted image content. We show how to formally prove the security of the design and discuss further extensions on user image update. We also report experiment results on a large Flickr image dataset, with practical performance and qualitative social discovery results consistent with human perception.
