Cloud computing
Researchers have developed a novel approach to secure deduplicated cloud storage, addressing the limitations of existing password-protected encryption schemes. The proposed method, SR-PPE, employs a signature-based authentication mechanism, an enhanced distributed partially oblivious pseudorandom function, and a Merkle tree-based challenge-response mechanism to ensure strong security and practical efficiency. Key Takeaways:
Cloud computing
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have proposed a hybrid cloud-edge architecture to deploy Large Language Models (LLMs) in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The proposed system employs a lightweight on-premise LLM to handle bulk user requests, and dynamically offloads complex queries to a powerful cloud-hosted LLM only when necessary.
