The document proposes a two-round searchable encryption scheme to enable secure multi-keyword top-k retrieval over encrypted cloud data. Existing searchable encryption schemes only support boolean keyword search and do not consider relevance. The proposed Two-Round Searchable Encryption scheme uses homomorphic encryption and a vector space model to enable users to participate in ranking while most computation is done on the server side ciphertext only. This guarantees security without sacrificing efficiency.
Towards secure multi keyword top-k retrieval over encrypted cloud data
- 1. Towards Secure Multi-Keyword Top-k Retrieval over Encrypted Cloud Data ABSTRACT: Cloud computing has emerging as a promising pattern for data outsourcing and high quality data services. However, concerns of sensitive information on cloud potentially cause privacy problems. Data encryption protects data security to some extent, but at the cost of compromised efficiency. Searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) allows retrieval of encrypted data over cloud. In this paper, we focus on addressing data privacy issues using searchable symmetric encryption (SSE). For the first time, we formulate the privacy issue from the aspect of similarity relevance and scheme robustness. We observe that server-side ranking based on order-preserving encryption (OPE) inevitably leaks data privacy. To eliminate the leakage, we propose a two-round searchable encryption (TRSE) scheme that supports top-k multi-keyword retrieval. In TRSE, we employ a vector space model and homomorphic encryption. The vector space model helps to provide sufficient search accuracy, and the homomorphic encryption enables users to involve in the ranking while the majority of computing work is done on the server side by operations only on ciphertext. As a result, information leakage can be eliminated and data security is ensured. Thorough security and performance

EXISTING SYSTEM: Besides, in order to improve feasibility and save on the expense in the cloud paradigm, it is preferred to get the retrieval result with the most relevant files that match users’ interest instead of all the files, which indicates that the files should be ranked in the order of relevance by users’ interest and only the files with the highest relevances are sent back to users. A series of searchable symmetric encryption schemes have been proposed to enable search on ciphertext. Traditional SSE schemes enable users to securely retrieve the ciphertext, but these schemes support only Boolean keyword search, i.e., whether a keyword exists in a file or not, without considering the difference of relevance with the queried keyword of these files in the result. Preventing the cloud from involving in ranking and entrusting all the work to the user is a natural way to avoid information leakage. However, the limited computational power on the user side and the high computational overhead precludes information security.

Authors of made attempts to solve the problem of top-k multi-keyword over encrypted cloud data. These schemes, however, suffer from two problems - Boolean representation and how to strike a balance between security and efficiency. In the former, files are ranked only by the number of retrieved keywords, which impairs search accuracy. In the latter, security is implicitly compromised to tradeoff for efficiency, which is particularly undesirable in security-oriented applications. PROPOSED SYSTEM: In this paper, we introduce the concepts of similarity relevance and scheme robustness to formulate the privacy issue in searchable encryption schemes, and then solve the insecurity problem by proposing a two-round searchable encryption (TRSE) scheme. Novel technologies in the cryptography community and information retrieval community are employed, including homomorphic encryption and vector space model. In the proposed scheme, the majority of

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM: We propose the concepts of similarity relevance and scheme robustness. We thus perform the first attempt to formulate the privacy issue in searchable encryption, and we show server side ranking based on order-preserving encryption (OPE) inevitably violates data privacy We propose a two-round searchable encryption (TRSE) scheme, which fulfills the secure multi-keyword top-k retrieval over encrypted cloud data. Specifically, for the first time we employ relevance score to support multi- keyword top-k retrieval. Thorough analysis on security demonstrates the proposed scheme guarantees high data privacy. Furthermore, performance analysis and experimental results show that our scheme is efficient for practical utilization.
