    • Definitions for Plaintext-Existence Hiding in Cloud Storage 

      Boyd, Colin Alexander; Davies, Gareth Thomas; Gjøsteen, Kristian; Raddum, Håvard; Toorani, Mohsen (ARES 2018;Article No. 41, Chapter, 2018)
      Cloud storage services use deduplication for saving bandwidth and storage. An adversary can exploit side-channel information in several attack scenarios when deduplication takes place at the client side, leaking information ...
    • Digital image watermarking: its formal model, fundamental properties and possible attacks 

      Nyeem, Hussain; Boles, Wageeh; Boyd, Colin Alexander (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      While formal definitions and security proofs are well established in some fields like cryptography and steganography, they are not as evident in digital watermarking research. A systematic development of watermarking schemes ...
