Abstract:

“The talk will be about a system that securely outsources browser cookies
to the cloud and ensures user privacy using Private Information
Retrieval (PIR). Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the system
achieves satisfactory performance for most real-life web browsing
scenarios: the latency is within 1.0 to 1.2 seconds (well within users
tolerance) even when retrieving tens of cookies over a LTE or WiFi
network, and the amount of generated traffic is significantly lower than
that when downloading the entire cookie database.”
