Public Key Encryption with Keyword Search Revisited

The public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) scheme recently proposed by Boneh, Di Crescenzo, Ostrovsky, and Persiano enables one to search encrypted keywords without compromising the security of the original data. In this paper, we address three important issues of a PEKS scheme, “refreshing keywords”, “removing secure channel”, and “processing multiple keywords”, which have not been c...

Public Key Encryption with Keyword Search

We study the problem of searching on data that is encrypted using a public key system. Consider user Bob who sends email to user Alice encrypted under Alice’s public key. An email gateway wants to test whether the email contains the keyword “urgent” so that it could route the email accordingly. Alice, on the other hand does not wish to give the gateway the ability to decrypt all her messages. W...

Public-Key Encryption with Registered Keyword Search

Public-key Encryption with Keyword Search (PEKS) enables a server to test whether a tag from a sender and a trapdoor from a receiver contain the same keyword. In this paper, we highlight some potential security concern, i.e. a curious server is able to answer whether any selected keyword is corresponding to a given trapdoor or not (called an offline keyword guessing attack). The existing semant...

A New Trapdoor-indistinguishable Public Key Encryption with Keyword Search

The public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) provides a way for users to search data which are encrypted under the users’ public key on a storage system. However, the original schemes are based on the unrealistic assumption of a secure channel between the receiver and the server. Baek et al. [1] first proposed a secure channel-free public key encryption with keyword search (SCF-PEKS) to...
