STS Server 2011
Abstract
STS is a novel approach to
protect the location and the identification of a mobile
user. This architecture simply divides the secret i.e., the location of a
user, and uses totally un-trusted entities to distribute
portions of this anonymous location information. STS
avoids cryptography methods. As a lightweight scheme
it can be applied to network of nodes illustrating low
processing and computational power, such as nodes of
an ad-hoc network, cloud and sensors.

Broader Impact
Our solution will solve sharing secret problems by replacing a typical TTP with several non trustworthy entities.
Use of FutureGrid
I intent to investigate the possibility to apply secret sharing mechanisms via storing portion of secret inside a cloud. The aforementioned mechanism is described in the paper "G. F. Marias, C. Delakouridis, L. Kazatzopoulos, and P. Georgiadis, Location Privacy Through Secret Sharing Techniques". The first step will be to realize the STS server side in multiple servers hosted inside the cloud. Clients will interact with the STS servers to store/retrieve portions of the secret. The goal is to evaluate the overall system.
