FSPVDsse: A Forward Secure Publicly Verifiable Dynamic SSE scheme
A symmetric searchable encryption (SSE) scheme allows a client (data owner)
to search on encrypted data outsourced to an untrusted cloud server. The search
may either be a single keyword search or a complex query search like
conjunctive or Boolean keyword search. Information leakage is quite high for
dynamic SSE, where data might be updated. It has been proven that to avoid this
information leakage an SSE scheme with dynamic data must be forward private. A
dynamic SSE scheme is said to be forward private, if adding a keyword-document
pair does not reveal any information about the previous search result with that
keyword.
In SSE setting, the data owner has very low computation and storage power. In
this setting, though some schemes achieve forward privacy with
honest-but-curious cloud, it becomes difficult to achieve forward privacy when
the server is malicious, meaning that it can alter the data. Verifiable dynamic
SSE requires the server to give a proof of the result of the search query. The
data owner can verify this proof efficiently. In this paper, we have proposed a
generic publicly verifiable dynamic SSE (DSSE) scheme that makes any forward
private DSSE scheme verifiable without losing forward privacy. The proposed
scheme does not require any extra storage at owner-side and requires minimal
computational cost as well for the owner. Moreover, we have compared our scheme
with the existing results and show that our scheme is practical.Comment: 17 pages, Published in ProvSec 201
