Abstract:

With the explosive growth of data and the rapid development of cloud computing, the demand for data secure sharing and querying is gradually increasing among users. Public-key encryption with keyword search allows resource-constrained users to efficiently search for encrypted data stored in the cloud servers, providing an effective solution for cloud data secure queries. However, with the arrival of the quantum era, the existing cryptosystems are facing a huge impact. Lattice-based cryptography has received widespread attention for the advantages of being reducible to the worst-case difficulty assumption, resistance to quantum attacks, and high security. The article provided an overview of the recent research progress of lattice-based public-key encryption with keyword search from the perspective of security and functionality. Firstly, it outlined the research progress of lattice-based public key cryptography, the definition and the security model of public-key encryption with keyword search. Then, it focused on analyzing the recent lattice-based public-key encryption with keyword search schemes, analyzed the research on the security of the schemes from the starting point of attacking means, and compared the algorithmic efficiencies of the schemes in terms of the communication overhead and the computational complexity. Finally, it summarized the application scenarios and the future research trends.
