In this paper, we consider a setting where aclient wants to outsource storage of a large amount ofprivate data and then perform substring search querieson the data – given a data string s and a search stringp, find all occurrences of p as a substring of s. First, weformalize an encryption paradigm that we call queryableencryption, which generalizes searchable symmetric e...
