Abstract

Searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) has been proposed that enables the clients to outsource their private encrypted data onto the cloud server and later the data can be searched with limited information leakage. However, existing surveys have not covered most recent advances on SSE technique. To fill the gap, we make a survey on state-of-the-art representative SSE schemes in cloud environment. We mainly focus on dynamic SSE schemes with forward and backward privacy, two vital security elements to maintain query privacy during data update operations. Specifically, we discuss about SSE protocols based on query expressiveness, including single keyword search, conjunctive keyword search, range search, disjunctive keyword search and verifiable search. Finally, through comparison on query expressiveness, security and efficiency, we demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the existing SSE protocols.
