Providing adequate Internet access for rural and regional Australia is an important priority for governments at all levels. For communities in these areas to benefit from the information economy and realise a continuing improvement in their social, economic and environmental wellbeing, such access must be both affordable and sustainable. Community organisations make an important contribution in these areas and this research will examine the questions how they adopt such innovations, and how they make use of the Internet to further interaction with their community. It will identify and examine barriers to such use, relating the barriers to both their root causes and the benefits / behaviour on which they impact.Read moreRead less
Efficient and secure data integrity auditing on cloud. Data auditing presents a promising way for verifying user data integrity on cloud, i.e., whether user privacy sensitive data such as identity information on cloud is modified or lost. Current auditing approaches lack sufficient efficiency and security. This results in that they cannot provide timely warning and precaution on potential data loss threats. This project aims to systematically investigate this significant challenge and expects to ....Efficient and secure data integrity auditing on cloud. Data auditing presents a promising way for verifying user data integrity on cloud, i.e., whether user privacy sensitive data such as identity information on cloud is modified or lost. Current auditing approaches lack sufficient efficiency and security. This results in that they cannot provide timely warning and precaution on potential data loss threats. This project aims to systematically investigate this significant challenge and expects to establish innovative research and solutions for enabling efficient and secure data integrity auditing on cloud. The project outcomes will help to safeguard Australian community in fast-growing cyber world, and benefit to fast-growing user privacy sensitive data hosting and applications on cloud.Read moreRead less
