Privacy-preserving data processing on the cloud. This project aims to address the current lack of privacy of user data processed by common cloud computing web servers, including email, business data, and confidential files. This project aims to develop new techniques in cryptography. The anticipated outcome is a suite of practical tools enabling common cloud computing processing operations such as search, statistical analysis, and multi-user access control, to be performed efficiently while pres ....Privacy-preserving data processing on the cloud. This project aims to address the current lack of privacy of user data processed by common cloud computing web servers, including email, business data, and confidential files. This project aims to develop new techniques in cryptography. The anticipated outcome is a suite of practical tools enabling common cloud computing processing operations such as search, statistical analysis, and multi-user access control, to be performed efficiently while preserving the data privacy. These tools should provide significant benefits to the privacy of cloud users, as well as financial and reputation benefits to the IT industry, by significantly reducing the likelihood of massive user data privacy breaches in the event of a cyber-hacking attack on the cloud server.Read moreRead less
Secure and Efficient Cryptographic Hashing. This project will enhance information security, which is absolutely crucial for rapidly growing e-commerce, e-government services and for national security (Priority 4 -Safeguarding Australia - Protection against Terrorism and Crime). The project will strengthen international collaboration by reciprocal exchange of researchers and postgraduate students leading to more attractive and productive research environment.

This project will enhance information security, which is absolutely crucial for rapidly growing e-commerce, e-government services and for national security (Priority 4 -Safeguarding Australia - Protection against Terrorism and Crime). The project will strengthen international collaboration by reciprocal exchange of researchers and postgraduate students leading to more attractive and productive research environment. At the same time, the project will help to maintain high research profile of Australian researchers, to increase the capacity for consultancy and contract work, and provide a cutting-edge information technology for the Australian telecommunications industry, business and government (Priority 3 - Frontier Technologies).
