Abstract：
With the advent of Big Data, there has been a rising trend of outsourcing data management to cloud service providers, which provide query services to clients on behalf of data owners. While the cloud model is appealing in terms of scalability, elasticity and self-manageability, it brings about new challenges to query processing. In particular, the service provider can be untrustworthy or compromised, thereby raising security threats on data privacy and query integrity. Therefore, supporting secure query processing with privacy preservation and result verification requirements is imperative for outsourced databases. In this talk, we will present some of our recent efforts on privacy-preserving query processing and authenticated query processing. We will also discuss some possible future research directions.
