Cloud computing platforms are becoming increasingly prevalent and readily available nowadays, providing us alternative and economic services for resource-constrained clients to perform large-scale computation. In this work, we address the problem of secure outsourcing of large-scale nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) to a cloud in a way that the client can verify the correctness of results with small overhead. The input matrix protection is achieved by a lightweight, permutation-based encryption mechanism. By exploiting the iterative nature of NMF computation, we propose a single-round verification strategy, which can be proved to be effective. Both theoretical and experimental results are given to demonstrate the superior performance of our scheme.
