With the rapid development of cloud computing, the enterprises and individuals can outsource their sensitive data into the cloud server where they can enjoy high quality data storage and computing services in a ubiquitous manner. This is known as the outsourcing computation paradigm. Recently, the problem for securely outsourcing various expensive computations or storage has attracted considerable attention in the academic community. In this book, we focus on the latest technologies and ap...

This book provides a thorough overview of the evolution of privacy-preserving machine learning schemes over the last ten years, after discussing the importance of privacy-preserving techniques. In response to the diversity of Internet services, data services based on machine learning are now available for various applications, including risk assessment and image recognition. In light of open access to datasets and not fully trusted environments, machine learning-based applications face eno...

In this book, the authors discuss the biophysical characteristics of Dendritic cells (DCs) at various differentiation stages and in tumor microenvironments in detail. A type of Chinese traditional herb, which can improve the biophysical and microrheological properties of DCs, is also introduced. DCs are potent and specialized antigen-presenting cells that play a crucial role in initiating and amplifying both the innate and adaptive immune responses. The biophysical and microrheological cha...
