Mining Frequent Itemsets is the core operation of many data mining algorithms. This operation however, is very data intensive and sometimes produces a prohibitively large output. I...
Efforts to design faster synchronous mix networks have focused on reducing the computational cost of mixing per server. We propose a different approach: our re-encryption mixnet...
Users commonly rely just on scarce textual annotation when their searches for images are semantic or conceptual based. Rich visual information is often thrown away in basic annota...
Mobile devices equipped with positioning capabilities (e.g., GPS) can ask location-dependent queries to Location Based Services (LBS). To protect privacy, the user location must n...
