GhostDB, Hiding Sensitive Data from Prying Eyes
Imagine that you have been entrusted with private data, such as corporate product information, sensitive government information, or symptom and treatment information about hospital patients. You may want to issue queries whose result will combine private and public data, but private data must not be revealed, say, to the prying eyes of some insurance fraudster. …

C-SXA: Chip-Secured XML Access
Chip-Secured XML Access (C-SXA) is an XML-based access rights controller embedded in a smart card. C-SXA evaluates user’s privileges on a queried or streaming XML encrypted document and delivers the authorized subset of this document. Compared to existing methods, C-SXA supports fine grain and dynamic access control policies by separating access control issues from encryption. …
Embedded Data Management
The challenge tackled in this research action is threefold: (1) revisit classical data management techniques (e.g., RDBMS engine, full-text search engine) to cope with the strong hardware constraints of smart objects, (2) address more advanced data types (e.g., spatio-temporal data such as trajectory data) in the context of new storage devices based on Flash and …
uFLIP & EagleTree
It is amazingly easy to produce meaningless results when measuring flash devices, partly because of the peculiarity of flash memory, but primarily because their behavior is determined by layers of complex, proprietary, and undocumented software and hardware. uFLIP is a component benchmark for measuring the response time distribution of flash IO patterns, defined as the …
