Research Goals

The goal of this research is to build practical privacy and security enhancing applications for cloud services that leverage recent advances in secure cloud storage. In particular, we focuses on oblivious and private data retrieval methods and other privacy preserving cloud storage techniques that ensure that access patterns to remotely stored data, in addition to the contents, are protected. Notably, we have made significant impacts on Oblivious RAM technology (ORAM) that aim to enable data storage and retrieval while hiding the both contents and access patterns.
