Cloud computing is very common at reduced price because of its computing and storage ability. To reduce storage costs, an ever increasing number of information are being moved to the cloud. Then again, since the cloud isn't completely dependable, they are usually encrypted before uploading to shield information protection from outsiders and even the cloud server. However, many activities on encrypted information, such as searching, are difficult to conduct. Searchable encryption has emerged to solve this issue. It is much less effective to search for encryption in multi-user environment than in single-user environment. As a foundation of attribute-based encryption to solve this issue a multi-user searchable system is suggested. Our system also keeps information safe in opposition to the cloud server in the cloud. It enables users with suitable permissions to conduct encrypted information search activities. Furthermore, customers generate search tokens instead of information holders. We demonstrate that in our system, token privacy and index privacy are all around ensured. No helpful data about search tokens and ciphertexts can be obtained from the cloud server and illegal users. Our scheme's ciphertexts are constant in size, reducing our scheme's time-complexity and bandwidth overhead.

With the advent of cloud computing, data privacy has become one of critical security issues and attracted much attention as more and more mobile devices are relying on the services in cloud. To protect data privacy, users usually encrypt their sensitive data before uploading to cloud servers, which renders the data utilization to be difficult. The ciphertext retrieval is able to realize utilization over encrypted data and searchable public key encryption is an effective way in the construction of encrypted data retrieval. However, the previous related works have not paid much attention to the design of ciphertext retrieval schemes that are secure against inside keyword-guessing attacks (KGAs). In this paper, we first construct a new architecture to resist inside KGAs. Moreover we present an efficient ciphertext retrieval instance with a designated tester (dCRKS) based on the architecture. This instance is secure under the inside KGAs. Finally, security analysis and efficiency comparison show that the proposal is effective for the retrieval of encrypted data in cloud computing.
