Public Key Encryption with Keyword Search against Insider Attack

The ciphertext retrieval is of paramount importance for data confidentiality and utilization. Thanks to bilinear-pairing-based cryptography, searching in an encrypted data has become a reality. The most common application of searchable encryption is cloud storage systems, where an honest-but-curious server manages the storage system and is able to find correct text from an encryption without decrypting it. Although the security against outsiders can be achieved, the most challenging task is to resist the so-called insider attack from the untrusted cloud storage server, who can actively guess the encrypted text with high probability. In this talk, the security models of searchable encryption such as secure channel free and insider attack will be discussed. A novel framework to resist inside attacks will be introduced. In addition, a discussion will be presented to show how to reduce the computational cost of searchable encryption with pre-computation.
