Breaking Web Applications Built On Top of Encrypted Data
Explore a conference talk from CCS 2016 that delves into the vulnerabilities of web applications built on encrypted data. Learn about the authors' contributions, the current state of web applications, and the proposed solution of data encryption. Examine a case study on Mylar, including attacks against it and the risks associated with metadata. Investigate active threat models, plaintext recovery attacks, and collusion with compromised clients. Gain insights into powerful attacks and their broader implications. Conclude with a discussion on defining security for multi-key searchable encryption (MKSE) in this 29-minute presentation by researchers from Cornell University, University of Texas at Austin, University of Southern California, and Cornell Tech.
