A New Paradigm to Approximate Oblivious Data Processing (ODP) for Data Confidentiality in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Maintaining the confidentiality of data sent toclouds is a vital issue that must be satisfactorily resolvedas a pre-condition in order for the cloud computingparadigm to survive and thrive. In this paper we explorea completely new paradigm to approximately achievethe functionality implied by "Oblivious Data Processing(ODP)". Our strategy is to partition the data as wellas the underlying Residue Number System (RNS) in theResidue Domain(RD) and then distribute and processthe partitions independently.
