Privacy Preserving Multi Keyword Searchable Encryption for Distributed Systems

Authors(2) :-T. Raja Sekhar, Vathaluru Narasa Reddy Reshma

With the increasing prevalence of distributed systems and the growing concern for privacy in data storage and retrieval, there is a pressing need for efficient and secure solutions. This paper introduces a (PPMKSE) scheme tailored for distributed systems, implemented using the Python programming language. With the rising prevalence of cloud storage across diverse applications, ensuring privacy during searching and retrieve data in a distributed environment presents a significant research challenge. Encryption schemes available for searching are still fall short in terms of working, privacy and security aspects. Specifically, supporting multi-user and keyword search, providing search and access patterns, and thwarting keyword guess attacks (KGA) are among the daunting tasks. We introduce a valance encryption & searchable scheme that effectively describes the aforementioned challenges simultaneously in this application. Rendering it suitable for adoption in distributed systems. Our proposed solution not only provides multiple keyword searches and multiple writers or multiple readers setting but also ensures privacy of both the data and the search pattern. In our scheme, we have devised a subset decision mechanism as the cornerstone technique, which extends its utility beyond keyword search applications. Lastly, we validate the security, assess the computational efficiency, and calculate the communication efficiency to demonstrate its practicality.
