Abstract

With the increasing popularity of cloud computing, more and more sensitive or private information is being outsourced to cloud server. For protecting data privacy, sensitive data are always encrypted before being outsourced. Although the existing searchable encryption schemes enable users to search over encrypted data, these schemes support only exact keyword search, which greatly affects data usability. Moreover, these schemes do not support verifiability of search result. To tackle the challenge, a smart semantic search scheme is proposed in this paper, which returns not only the result of keyword-based exact match, but also the result of keyword-based semantic match. At the same time, the proposed scheme supports the verifiability of search result.
