2 Outline Database-As-A-Service Model (DAS) – Overview of the DAS Model – Advantages and Disadvantages of DAS Model Related Work on Secure Database Outsourcing Suggested Dynamic Group Key Management Schema for Outsourced Databases Conclusion

3 Database-As-A-Service Model (DAS) Data owner: an organization that produces data to be made available for controlled external release. User: an organization or human entity that presents requests (queries) to the system and transforms this queries into queries on the encrypted data stored on the server. Server: an organization that receives the encrypted data from a data owner and makes them available for distribution to users.

4 Advantages of DAS Model Saves organizations hardware and software resources Reduce database cost A way for organizations to share the expertise of the database professionals Promises higher availability and more effective disaster protection plan.

5 Disadvantages of the DAS Model Security – Data confidentiality : outsiders and the server cannot see the owner’s database contents in any case. Users of the database have only partial access to the outsourced data, they can only access the permitted data by the owner. – Owner privacy : database owner does not want the server to know about the queries and the returned results. – Authentication and data integrity : users must be ensured that data returned from the untrusted server is originated from the data owner and has not been tampered with.

7 Query Execution Techniques for Outsourced Databases To store only encrypted data do not work because it would enable external service provider to support selective access. Since confidentiality demands that data decryption must be possible only at the client side different techniques were presented to enable external servers to execute queries on encrypted data. Proposed query execution techniques to select the data to be return in responds to a query without the need of decrypting the data themselves based on storing together with the encrypted data additional indexing information [1, 2,13, 16, 17].

8 Query Execution Techniques for Outsourced Databases index of range technique proposed by Mehrotra, Li and Iyer for both equality and range predicate query.

9 Query Execution Techniques for Outsourced Databases Basic idea of how index of range technique works: – Employee(eid, ename, salary, addr, did) – Employee S (etuple, eid S, ename S, salary S, addr S, did S ) on server side – Partition of attribute eid Employee [0, 200] = 2, [200, 400] = 7, [400, 600] = 5, [600, 800] = 1 and [800, 1000] = 4 – To retrieve record of the employee whose employee id = 320 SELECT * from Employee map to SELECT * from Employee WHERE eid = “320” WHERE eid = 7

10 Query Execution Techniques for Outsourced Databases The Other Query Execution Techniques : – in [1, 13] proposed a hash-based method suitable for selection queries – in [3] order preserving encryption schema (OPES) is presented to support equality and range query. This approach operates only on integer value – in [10] proposed techniques for performing arithmetic operations ( +, -, *, / ) on encrypted data and do not consider comparison operations. – [4, 5] proposed execution of aggregation queries over encrypted data Limitation of the proposed techniques: they are protecting data at the server side, and provides complete access to the database contents on the client side.

11 Access Control Mechanism for Outsourced Databases Proposed by Damiani, Foresti, Samarati and others prof. of University of Milan, access control mechanism exploit data encryption by including authorization in the encrypted data themselves. In this way it is enforce access restriction to deferent users, sets of users, or applications. Access Control Mechanism for outsourced databases proposed a different method that consists in grouping users with the same access privileges and in encrypting each groupof tuples with the key associated with the set of users that can access it. Mechnism limited to the static groups. Can not be directly applied to the dynamic groups. In this case outsourced database has to be re-encrypted each time group membership changes.

13 Suggested Dynamic Group Key Management Schema for Outsourced Databases The thesis proposes a dynamic group key management schema for outsourced databases. The proposed schema is performing scalable encryption/decryption algorithm at the server side and the client side using key pair generated from the group keys based on most widely used Rivest-Shamir-Adelman (RSA) cryptographic algorithm. In case of dynamic group, proposed schema solves database re-encryption problem in the event when group membership changes dynamically. It efficiently solves the security problems: data confidentiality and owner privacy.

14 System Description All the users of the outsourced database are divided into different groups based on access privilege. Users with the same access privilege can access the same part of the outsourced data. Each group of database users has pair of keys: – Encryption key K GRe – Decryption key key K GRd – Mod n which are generated by the database owner using RSA algorithm, K GRe and K GRd are secret to the group members.

15 System Description Group encryption key K GRe is used by the database owner to encrypt tuples in the database. – C = E KGRe [ Data ] mod n Group decryption key K GRd is used by the owner to randomly generate a pair of group subkeys K GRd1 and K GRd2 such that – Data = D KGRd [ C ] mod n – Data ’ = D KGRd1 [ D KGRd2 [ C ] ] mod n Data = Data ’

16 System Architecture Proposed group key distribution schema uses centralized setting. Includes tree entities: – Database owner: is responsible for producing, distributing, managing and updating group keys. – Group User: decrypts the result from the server using the first part of the group decryption subkey K GRd1 in the decryption algorithm in order to get the plaintext result. – Server: is responsible for producing the query result on the encrypted database, decrypting the result with the second part of the group decryption subkey K GRd2 and sending encrypted result to the group user.

17 Group Key Distribution Model Three phases in the system: initialization, adding new group member, and evicting existing group member. Initialization Phase: – Establishes group keys. – Performed by the database owner: uses RSA cryptographic algorithm to generate two keys: group encryption key (K GRe, mod n) and group decryption key (K GRd, mod n). splits decryption key K GRd on two parts and produces two group subkeys K GRd1 and K GRd2.

18 Group Key Distribution Model db owner sends to each user U i  GR i a subkey K GRd1 and modulus n. Group members hold a group subkey K GRd1 and mod n as their secret key. db owner sends to the server a group subkey K GRd2. The Server holds a group subkey K GRd2 as group GR i secret key. db owner encrypts set of tuples with group GR i encryption key (K GRe, mod n) and store them in the outsourced database.

21 Query Processing

22 Experiment For the experiment we used the programming language Java with the following characteristics: java version Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_02-b09). We also used Microsoft Access database for the data storage. Customer k {etuple, CustomerInd, AccountInd, AmountInd, Subkey} CustomerAccountAmount$ Alice56783 Bob Donna Elvis Alla832410,712 Sal Original data Encrypted table

23 Experiment Key distribution schema Group 1 member retrieve the Customer table – Select * from the Customer map to Select etuple from the Customer Group 2 member query result Group number Encryption keyDecryption key Subkey 1 (user side) Subkey 2 (server side) Modulus Query Result Received by the Group 1 Member

24 Experiment Group 1 Member Eviction Group numberEncryption key Decryption key Subkey 1 (user side) Subkey 2 (server side) Modulus 1 (before member eviction) (after member eviction) The test shows that on the select query existing group 1 users receive the same result as it shown in previous slide. However, evicted member can not access the tuples. Since Data = C KGRd mod n and Data ’ = (C KGRd1’ ) KGRd2 mod n, Data  Data ’ Evicted Group 1 Member Query Result

25 Conclusion Thesis investigates a solution for implementing through cryptography a selective access policy. Based on the modification of the RSA cryptographic algorithm, the thesis proposed key management schema for outsourced databases. This schema is suitable for the dynamic environment where authorizations, users, and objects can dynamically change. We also performed implementation of our schema and presented experimental result.
