Abstract:

In order to solve the confidentiality problem of user data in cloud storage effectively, this paper presents a ciphertext full-text retrieval method of cloud storage based on homomorphic encryption. This paper first introduces homomorphic encryption and studies the ciphertext retrieval scheme based on DGHV algorithm. A scheme based on improved DGHV algorithm is then proposed in this paper for ciphertext full-text retrieval of cloud storage. The scheme uses two keys to perform homomorphic encryption on the plaintext keywords. One is a user key that only the user knows, and the other is a retrieval key shared by the user and the cloud server. When a user retrieves a file, the cloud server can perform a full-text retrieval operation on the files only by using the retrieval key, while the user key is always retained only on the user’s side, and the cloud server cannot obtain it to decrypt the ciphertext data of the user. The scheme can realize efficient retrieval under the third-party server untrusted cloud storage scenario, and ensure the confidentiality of user data.
