Balancing Security, Performance And Deployability In Encrypted Search, David Joel Pouliot
Balancing Security, Performance And Deployability In Encrypted Search, David Joel Pouliot
Dissertations and Theses
Encryption is an important tool for protecting data, especially data stored in the cloud. However, standard encryption techniques prevent efficient search. Searchable encryption attempts to solve this issue, protecting the data while still providing search functionality. Retaining the ability to search comes at a cost of security, performance and/or utility.
An important practical aspect of utility is compatibility with legacy systems. Unfortunately, the efficient searchable encryption constructions that are compatible with these systems have been proven vulnerable to attack, even against weaker adversary models.
The goal of this work is to address this security problem inherent with efficient, legacy compatible …
