Abstract

In cloud computing, data owners outsource their data to clouds for saving cost of data storage and computation. However, while enjoying the benefits of cloud computing, users have to face the risk that sensitive outsourced data could be leaked. This paper proposes a privacy-preserving multi-keyword ranked search scheme over encrypted cloud data, which adopts a novel two-layer complete binary tree index structure. The upper layer index is used to filter the candidate documents while the lower layer index is used to prune those unqualified documents, and then the search result is efficiently determined. Security analysis is presented which indicates that the proposed scheme is capable of preserving the privacy of outsourced data. Experiment results show that the proposed scheme has good performance in terms of search time cost.
