Abstract

Cloud can provide much convenience for big data storage and analysis. To enjoy the advantage of cloud service with privacy preservation, huge data is increasingly outsourced to cloud in encrypted form. Unfortunately, encryption may impede the analysis and computation over the outsourced dataset. Naïve Bayesian classification is an effective algorithm to predict the class label of unlabeled samples. In this paper, we investigate naïve Bayesian classification on encrypted large-scale dataset in cloud, and propose a practical and secure scheme for the challenging problem. In our scheme, all the computation task of naïve Bayesian classification are completed by the cloud, which can dramatically reduce the burden of data owner and users. We give a formal security proof for our scheme. Based on the theoretical proof, we can strictly guarantee the privacy of both input dataset and output classification results, i.e., the cloud can learn nothing useful about the training data of data owner and the test samples of users throughout the computation. Additionally, we not only theoretically analyze our computation complexity and communication overheads, but also evaluate our implementation cost by leveraging extensive experiments over real dataset, which shows our scheme can achieve practical efficiency.

A preliminary version [14] of this paper was presented at the Tenth International Conference on Provable Security (ProvSec’ 16).
