Abstract

Correctness assurance of query results in data outsourcing scenarios includes authenticity, completeness, and freshness of the results. Utilizing signature chaining and aggregation, this paper proposes a method to verify the correctness of results returned from an untrusted server. An MHT constructed over attribute values of a tuple is used to provide the authenticity, and timestamp is used to provide the freshness verifiability of results. While our approach supports a wide range of queries, simulation results indicate its efficiency in comparison with some existing methods in terms of communication and computation overhead imposed to execute a query.
