Abstract: A method for providing response-hiding searchable encryption includes receiving a search query for a keyword from a user device associated with a user. The keyword appears in one or more encrypted documents within a corpus of encrypted documents stored on an untrusted storage device. The method also includes accessing a document oblivious key-value storage (OKVS) to obtain a list of document identifiers associated with the keyword. Each document identifier in the list of document identifiers associated with a respective keyword identifier is concatenated with the keyword and uniquely identifies a respective one of the one or more encrypted documents that the keyword appears in. The method also includes returning the list of document identifiers obtained from the document OKVS to the user device.

Abstract: A method for sharing read access to a document stored on memory hardware. The method includes receiving a shared read access command from a sharor sharing read access to a sharee for a document stored on memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, and receiving a shared read access request from the sharee. The shared read access command includes an encrypted value and a first cryptographic share value based on a write key, a read key, a document identifier, and a sharee identifier. The method also includes multiplying the first and second cryptographic share values to determine a cryptographic read access value. The cryptographic read access value authorizes read access to the sharee for the document. The method also includes storing a read access token for the sharee including the cryptographic read access value and the encrypted value in a user read set of the memory hardware.

Abstract: This document relates to using secure MPC to select digital components in ways that preserve user privacy and protects the security of data of each party that is involved in the selection process. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a first computing system of a secure MPC system and from a client device, a digital component request and a nonce. The first computing system generates, based on the nonce and a function, an array including a share of a Bloom filter representing user group identifiers for user groups that include a user of the client device as a member. For each of multiple user group identifiers, the first computing system calculates, in collaboration with one or more second computing systems of the secure MPC system and using the array, a respective first secret share of one or more user group membership condition parameters.

Abstract: A method for providing encrypted search includes receiving, at a user device associated with a user, a search query for a keyword that appears in one or more encrypted documents stored on an untrusted storage device and accessing a count table to obtain a count of documents that include the keyword. The method also includes generating a delegatable pseudorandom function (DPRF) based on the keyword, a private cryptographic key, and the count of documents. The method also includes evaluating a first portion of the DPRF and delegating a remaining second portion of the DPRF to the untrusted storage device which causes the untrusted storage device to evaluate the DPRF and access an encrypted search index associated with the documents. The untrusted storage device determines one or more encrypted documents associated with DPRF and returns, to the user device, an identifier for each encrypted document associated with the DPRF.

Abstract: A method includes executing an instruction to execute a query for a data block, the data block associated with a corresponding memory level of a logarithmic number of memory levels (li) of memory, each memory level (li) including physical memory (RAMi) residing on memory hardware of a distributed system.

The method also includes a multi-array shuffle routine on the extracted key value pairs from the oblivious hash table to generate an output array containing the un-queried key value pairs.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining, from a server, a filter including a set of encrypted identifiers each encrypted with a server key controlled by the server. The method includes obtaining a request that requests determination of whether a query identifier is a member of a set of identifiers corresponding to the set of encrypted identifiers. The method also includes transmitting an encryption request to the server that requests the server to encrypt the query identifier. The method includes receiving, from the server, an encrypted query identifier including the query identifier encrypted by the server key and determining, using the filter, whether the encrypted query identifier is not a member of the set of encrypted identifiers. When the encrypted query identifier is not a member of the set of encrypted identifiers, the method includes reporting that the query identifier is not a member of the set of identifiers.
