Title: Verifiable Computation on Encrypted Data

Abstract: In a cloud computing environment, resource-constrained users outsource computationally intensive tasks to cloud servers in encrypted form, and conveniently obtain various services on a pay-as-you-go manner. However, since cloud servers are not fully trusted, an efficient mechanism is required to verify the results returned by them. This talk primarily focuses on the research and recent advances in the theories and technologies of verifiable computing.
