Description
Summary:Searchable public key encryption scheme is a key technique for protecting data confidentiality in today’s cloud environment. Specifically, public key encryption with conjunctive and disjunctive keyword search (PECDK) can provide flexible search options without sacrificing keywords security and thus attracts a lot of attention nowadays. However, the most effective PECDK scheme is based on the inner product encryption (IPE), which needs more time and space cost. In this paper, by utilizing the bilinear pairing with a prime order group, we propose an efficient PECDK scheme needing less time and storage consumption. The proposed scheme is proven to be secure under a rigorous security definition. The theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that our proposed scheme can significantly improve the time and space efficiency over the state-of-the-art scheme.
