Abstract
The exponential growth in security and storage requirements has led to increasing demand for high-performance solutions, particularly in managing large-scale data objects such as big binaries. Virtual Machines (VMs), a prime example of such binaries, are widely employed across desktops and dynamic server environments to deliver isolated execution contexts while minimizing hardware overhead. However, the proliferation of big binaries imposes significant challenges on both storage infrastructure and secure data transmission mechanisms. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel "Combined Big Binaries Compression and Encryption" (CBBCE) scheme that jointly performs compression and enc... More >
