This is due to the fact that organisations generally trust their handling of their own data hosted on their own servers and networks. With cloud computing however, where both data and processing are delegated to unknown servers, guarantees of the correctness of queries need to be available. The verification of the results of substring searches has not been given much focus to date within the wider scope of data and query, verification. We present a verification scheme for existential substring searc, hes on text files, which is the first of its kind to satisfy the desired properties of authenticity, completeness, and freshness. The scheme is based on suffix arrays, Merkle hash trees and cryptographic hashes to provide strong guarantees of correctness for the consumer, even in fully untrusted environments. We provide a description of our scheme, along with the results of experiments conducted on a fully-working prototype.展开更多

The DNA sequence analysis, speech and text recognition, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and many other applications highly depend on pattern matching or similarity searches. In this paper, we discuss some of the string matching solutions developed in the past. Then, we present a novel mathematical model to search for a given pattern and it’s near approximates in the text.展开更多
