Abstract

Recommender systems use, amongst others, a mechanism called collaborative filtering (CF) to predict the rating that a user will give to an item given the ratings of other items provided by other users. While reasonably accurate CF can be achieved with various well-known techniques, preserving the privacy of rating data from individual users poses a significant challenge. Several privacy preserving schemes have, so far, been proposed in prior work. However, while these schemes are theoretically feasible, there are many practical implementation difficulties on real world public cloud computing platforms. In this paper, we present our implementation experience and experimental results on two public Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) enabling Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) clouds: the Google App Engine for Java (GAE/J) and the Amazon Web Services Elastic Beanstalk (AWS EBS).a

Additional information: <19> This paper is about experiences with implementing a cloud-based service for collaborative filtering services that allows user communities to rate and recommend concepts, services, transactions, etc., while preserving the privacy and secrecy of the interactions by leveraging partial homomorphic encryption. The implementation of these homomorphic encryption variants has been assessed over cloud platforms such as Google App Engine and Amazon WS (EBS). This extends the initial experiments presented in an IEEE CloudCom 2011 paper. Further experimental validation leading to efficiency improvements and specialisation in different cloud platform architectures is analysed in ACM SAC 2012 and IEEE Cloud 2013 papers.; number of additional authors: 4;
