Popis: Wildcard searchable encryption allows the server to efficiently perform wildcard-based keyword searches over encrypted data while maintaining data privacy. A promising solution to achieve wildcard SSE is to extract the characteristics of the queried keyword and check the existence based on a membership test structure. However, existing schemes have false positives of character order, that is, the server cannot identify the order between the first and the last wildcard character. Besides, the schemes also suffer from characteristic matching pattern leakage due to the one-by-one membership testing. In this paper, we present the first efficient wildcard SSE scheme to eliminate the false positives of character order and characteristic matching pattern leakage. To this end, we design a novel characteristic extraction technique that enables the client to exact the characteristics of the queried keyword maintaining the order between the first and the last wildcard character. Then, we utilize the primitive of Symmetric Subset Predicate Encryption, which supports checking if one set is a subset of another in one shot to reduce the characteristic matching pattern leakage. Finally, by performing a formal security analysis and implementing the scheme on a real-world database, we demonstrate that the desired security properties are achieved with high performance.

Abstrakt:Wildcard searchable encryption allows the server to efficiently perform wildcard-based keyword searches over encrypted data while maintaining data privacy. A promising solution to achieve wildcard SSE is to extract the characteristics of the queried keyword and check the existence based on a membership test structure. However, existing schemes have false positives of character order, that is, the server cannot identify the order between the first and the last wildcard character. Besides, the schemes also suffer from characteristic matching pattern leakage due to the one-by-one membership testing. In this paper, we present the first efficient wildcard SSE scheme to eliminate the false positives of character order and characteristic matching pattern leakage. To this end, we design a novel characteristic extraction technique that enables the client to exact the characteristics of the queried keyword maintaining the order between the first and the last wildcard character. Then, we utilize the primitive of Symmetric Subset Predicate Encryption, which supports checking if one set is a subset of another in one shot to reduce the characteristic matching pattern leakage. Finally, by performing a formal security analysis and implementing the scheme on a real-world database, we demonstrate that the desired security properties are achieved with high performance.
