In cloud-based data marketplaces, the cardinal objective lies in facilitating interactions between data shoppers and sellers. This engagement allows shoppers to augment their internal datasets with external data, consequently leading to significant enhancements in their machine learning models. Nonetheless, given the potential diversity of data values, it becomes critical for consumers to assess the value of data before cementing any transactions. Recently, Song et al. introduced Primal (publish in ACSAC), the pioneering cloud-assisted privacy-preserving data evaluation (PPDE) strategy. This strategy relies on variants of functional encryption (FE) as the underlying framework, conferring notable performance advantages over alternative cryptographic primitives such as secure multi-party computation and homomorphic encryption. However, in this paper, we regretfully highlight that Primal is susceptible to inadvertent misuse of FE, and leaves much-desired room for performance amelioration. To combat this, we introduce a novel cryptographic primitive known as labeled function-hiding inner-product encrypted. This new primitive serves as a remedy and forms the foundation for designing the concrete framework for PPDE. Furthermore, experiments conducted on real datasets demonstrate that our framework significantly reduces the overall computation cost of the current state-of-the-art secure PPDE scheme by roughly 10× and the communication cost for the data seller by about 2×.

We propose a concept called acoustic amplifying diode combining signal isolation and amplification in a single device. The signal is exponentially amplified in one incident direction with no reflection and is perfectly absorbed in another. The reflection is eliminated from the device in both directions with impedance matching, preventing backscattering to the signal source. Here, we demonstrate the amplifying diode using an active metamaterial with nonreciprocal Willis coupling. We also discuss the situation with the presence of both reciprocal and nonreciprocal Willis couplings for more flexibility in implementation. The coexistence of both amplifier and perfect absorber in opposite incident directions extends the regime of sound isolation and further enables applications in sensing and communication, in which nonreciprocity can play an important role.
