Refine the Concept of Public Key Encryption with Delegated Search
Qiang Tang, Yuanjie Zhao, Xiaofeng Chen, and Hua Ma
Abstract
We revisit the concept of public key encryption with delegated keyword search (PKEDS), a concept proposed by Ibraimi et al. A PKEDS scheme allows a receiver to authorize third-party server(s) to search in two ways: either according to a message chosen by the server itself or according to a trapdoor sent by the receiver. We show that the existing formulation has some defects and the proposed scheme is unnecessarily inefficient. Based on our analysis, we present a refined formulation of the primitive with a new security model. We then propose a new PKEDS scheme, which is proven secure and much more efficient than the original scheme by Ibraimi et al.
