Abstract
With networking became prevalent, the amount of data to be stored and managed on networked servers rapidly increases. Meanwhile, with the improvement of awareness of data privacy, the user’s sensitive data is usually encrypted before uploading them to the cloud server. The searchable public-key encryption provides an efficient mechanism to achieve data retrieval in encrypted storage. Therefore, it is a critical technique on promoting secure and efficient cloud storage. Unfortunately, only few the existing schemes are secure to resist outside keyword guessing attacks. In this paper, we propose two efficient searchable public-key encryption schemes with a designated tester (dPEKS). One is a basic dPEKS, where the dPEKS ciphertext indistinguishability is proved without the random oracle. Meanwhile, the basic scheme is secure to resist the outside KGA since it satisfies the property of trapdoor indistinguishability. Comparing with the existing dPEKS schemes which use expensive pairing computation, our scheme is more efficient since we only need multi-exponentiation. Another is an enhanced dPEKS scheme. With the sender’s identity is kept secret from server, this scheme can provide stronger security.
