Verifiable and Searchable Symmetric Encryption Scheme Based on the Public Key Cryptosystem

With the rapid development of Internet of Things technology and cloud computing technology, all industries need to outsource massive data to third-party clouds for storage in order to reduce storage and computing costs. Verifiable and dynamic searchable symmetric encryption is a very important cloud security technology, which supports the dynamic update of private data and allows users to perform search operations on the cloud server and verify the legitimacy of the returned results. Therefore, how to realize the dynamic search of encrypted cloud data and the effective verification of the results returned by the cloud server is a key problem to be solved. To solve this problem, we propose a verifiable dynamic encryption scheme (v-PADSSE) based on the public key cryptosystem. In order to achieve efficient and correct data updating, the scheme designs verification information (VI) for each keyword and constructs a verification list (VL) to store it. When dynamic update operations are performed on the cloud data, it is easy to quickly update the security index through obtaining the latest verification information in the VL. The safety and performance evaluation of the v-PADSSE scheme proved that the scheme is safe and effective.
