A Secure Attribute-Based Keyword Search Scheme Against Keyword Guessing And Chosen Keyword Attack
Author(s):
Abstract:
To provide the privacy of the users who receive some computing services from the cloud, the users must encrypt their documents before outsourcing them to the cloud. Computation on outsourced encrypted data in the cloud rises some complexity to the system especially in the case when an entity would like to find some documents related to a special keyword. Searchable encryption is a tool for data owners to encrypt their data in a searchable manner. Generally, there exist two kinds of searchable encryption, namely symmetric (secret key) and asymmetric (public key) ones. Most of the public key searchable encryption schemes are vulnerable to the keyword guessing attack (KGA). In this paper, we propose an attribute-based keyword search scheme which is proved to be secure against KGA. Also, we formally prove that the proposed scheme is secure against another attack, namely the chosen keyword attack (CKA) in the random oracle model.
