Özet:

Logs are append-only time-stamped records to represent events in computers or network devices. Today, in many real-world networking applications, logging is a central service however it is a big challenge to satisfy the conflicting requirements when the security of log records is of concern. On one hand, being kept on mostly untrusted hosts, the logs should be preserved against unauthorized modifications and privacy breaches. On the other, serving as the primary evidence for digital crimes, logs are often needed for analysis by investigators. In this thesis, motivated by these requirements we define a model which integrates forward integrity techniques with search capabilities of encrypted logs. We also implement this model with advanced cryptographic primitives such as Identity Based Encryption. Our model, in one side, provides secure delegation of search capabilities to authorized users while protecting information privacy, on the other, these search capabilities set boundaries of a user’s search operation. By this way user can not access logs which are not related with his case. Also, in this dissertation, we propose an improvement to Schneier and Kelsey’s idea of forward integrity mechanism.
