Abstract: The present invention involves with a method of hybrid searchable encryption, involving using at least one first computing device that has a first processor configured to perform steps of: using a first symmetric key to encrypt data so as to obtain a data first ciphertext, using a second symmetric key to encrypt a keyword related to the data so as to obtain a searchable keyword first ciphertext that is related to the data first ciphertext, and saving the data first ciphertext and the keyword first ciphertext in a first memory of a first computing device; and using the first symmetric key to encrypt the keyword so as to generate a keyword second ciphertext, using a first public key to encrypt the keyword so as to obtain a searchable third keyword ciphertext related to the keyword second ciphertext, and sending the keyword second ciphertext and the searchable third keyword ciphertext to a second computing device; wherein the second computing device has a second processor that is configured to perform steps of: receiving the keyword second ciphertext and the searchable third keyword ciphertext from the first computing device and saving the two together with an identification of the first computing device relationally in a second memory of the second computing device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for robust, searchable, symmetrical encryption, the method comprising: during initialization, having a retrieval server perform retrieval on stored ciphertext information according to a searchable ciphertext and retrieval trapdoor information (Cntupd, K, Locgrp) sent by a client, wherein, the retrieval server acquires a last received first ciphertext set Cnew from a ciphertext database CDB just before the present retrieval according to a retrieval key K and an encryption counter Cntupd sent by the client, acquiring a second ciphertext set Ccache in a retrieval request history from a cache ciphertext database GRP according to a cache ciphertext index Locgrp, and merging the first ciphertext set Cnew and the second ciphertext set Ccache to form a retrieval set , and sending it to the client for decryption. The present invention is able to improve retrieval performance of searchable symmetrical encryption algorithm with robust forward and backward secrecy and to make searchable symmetrical encryption algorithm more practical.

Abstract: A method for increasing the difficulty for attackers to launch keyword guessing attacks, which uses a time-delay encryption with a keyword search based on a public key that generates searchable ciphertexts and/or files ciphertexts for keywords of at least one file that uploaded by time-delay encryption from a cloud server. A system for implementing the method is also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates a method for ensuring search completeness of searchable public key encryption, applicable to a blockchain network formed by a plurality of computer nodes. The method at least comprises: the blockchain network receiving a keyword ciphertext and a corresponding file-identifier ciphertext generated by a transmitting end based on the public key encryption, and at least one miner storing the ciphertexts in a ciphertext table; the blockchain network receiving a search trapdoor Tw transmitted by a receiving end, generated according to a private key and a keyword w to be searched; the at least one miner in the blockchain network performing a secure search based on information of a state table and the search trapdoor Tw, and outputting a search result to the blockchain network; and the blockchain network feeding the search result back to the receiving end. The invention uses the blockchain technology to solve the long-standing search completeness problem in searchable public key encryption, and the proposed method has universality.
