Abstract
Database outsourcing is becoming increasingly popular introducing a new paradigm, called database-as-a-service, where an encrypted client's database is stored at an external service provider. Existing proposals for querying encrypted databases are based on the association, with each encrypted tuple, of additional indexing information obtained from the plaintext values of attributes that can be used in the queries. However, the relationship between indexes and data should not open the door to inference and linking attacks that can compromise the protection granted by encryptionI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
