Public-key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) is a well-known technique which allows searching on encrypted data using the public key system. However, this technique suffers from the keyword guessing attack (KGA). To address this problem, a modified version of PEKS called public key encryption with fuzzy keyword search (PEFKS) has been introduced where each keyword is associated with an exact search trapdoor (EST) and a fuzzy search trapdoor (FST) which is provided to the cloud server. PEFKS prevents KGA in such a way that two or maximum three keywords share the same FST. Hence, even if the cloud server knows the FST it cannot link it to the corresponding keyword. But, with a probability of 1/3 the malicious cloud server can still guess the keyword corresponding to FST. Therefore, in this article, the authors present an approach which can improve the security of the PEFKS technique by reducing the probability of guessing the keyword to 1/k where k is the number of keywords that share the same FST, thus enhancing the overall reliability. In addition, the authors have used an identity-based encryption (IBE) as an underlying technique to construct the searchable encryption scheme and proved its security in the standard model.

Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing are adopted widely in daily life and industrial production. Sensors of IoT equipment gather personal, sensitive and important data, which is stored in a cloud server. The cloud helps users to save cost and collaborate. However, the privacy of data is also at risk. Public-key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) is convenient for users to use the data without leaking privacy. In this article, we give a scheme of PEKS for a multi-user to realize the multi-keyword search at once and extend it to show a rank based on keywords match. The receiver can finish the search by himself or herself. With private cloud and server cloud, most users’ computing can be outsourced. Moreover, the PEKS can be transferred to a multi-user model in which the private cloud is used to manage receivers and outsource. The store cloud and the private cloud both obtain nothing with the keyword information. Then our IoT devices can easily run these protocols. As we do not use any pairing operations, the scheme is under more general assumptions that means the devices do not need to take on the heavy task of calculating pairing.

The idea of public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS), proposed by Boneh et al., enables one to send a trapdoor containing a encrypted keyword to query data without revealing the keyword. In Boneh et al.’s design, the trapdoor has to be transferred through a secure channel, which is both costly and inefficient. Baek et al. then proposed an efficient secure channel free public key encryption scheme with keyword search (SCF-PEKS). After that, vast amounts of research have focused on the protection against the off-line keyword guessing attack (OKGA) by enhancing the model. However, most of the PEKS/SCF-PEKS schemes developed so far are constructed by applying bilinear pairing and are susceptible to off-line keyword guessing attacks. In this paper, we propose a new SCF-PEKS scheme based on the ElGamal cryptosystem. The proposed scheme is not only secure against off-line keyword guessing attacks but also improves the efficiency.

A public key encryption scheme with keyword search capabilities is proposed using lattices for applications in multiuser environments. The proposed scheme enables a cloud server to check if any given encrypted data contains certain keywords specified by multiple users, but the server would not have knowledge of the keywords specified by the users or the contents of the encrypted data, which provides data privacy as well as privacy for user queries in multiuser environments. It can be proven secure under the standard learning with errors assumption in the random oracle model.

Online social networking applications have become more and more popular in the advance of the technological age. Much of our personal information has been disclosed in social networking activities and privacy-preserving still remains a research challenge in social network. Public key encryption scheme with equality test(PKEET), which is an extension of public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS), seems to be a solution. PKEET enables the tester to check whether two given ciphertexts are derived from the same plaintext. Recently, Zhu et al. proposed a pairing-free public key encryption scheme with equality test based on the traditional public key cryptosystem. However, it suffers from certificates management issue. In this paper, we propose a pairing-free identity-based encryption scheme with authorized equality test(PF-IBEAET). The PF-IBEAET scheme also provides fine-grained authorizations. We prove that the scheme is one way secure against chosen identity and chosen ciphertext attack (OW-ID-CCA) and indistinguishable against chosen-identity and chosen-ciphertext attack (IND-ID-CCA) in the random oracle model (ROM). Performance analysis shows that the scheme achieves a better performance than similar schemes.

Abstract In the era of cloud computing, public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) is an extremely useful cryptographic tool for searching on encryption data, whose strongest security notion is indistinguishability encryption against chosen ciphertext attack (ind-cca). Adballa et al. presented a transformation from identity based encryption (IBE) to PEKS in the Theory of Cryptography Conference 2010. This paper proposes a new framework of ind-cca secure PEKS in the standard model. Our main technical tool is a newly introduced notion of smooth projective hash function with key mapping, in which the hash key hk is mapped into another mapping projection key mhp besides the classical projection key hp. Finally, we provide an instantiation of our framework based on symmetric eXternal Diffie–Hellman assumption.
