Abstract

Cloud computing services are becoming more prevalent and readily available today, bringing to us economies of scale and making large-scale computation feasible. Security and privacy considerations, however, stand in the way of fully utilizing the benefits of such services and architectures. In this work we address the problem of secure outsourcing of large-scale biometric experiments to a cloud or grid in a way that the client can verify that with very high probability the task was computed correctly. We conduct thorough theoretical analysis of the proposed techniques and provide implementation results that indicate that our solution imposes modest overhead.
