    Jingjing Nie1,*, Zhenhua Chen2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.3, pp. 4763-4779, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.051181 - 20 June 2024

    Abstract The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the medical field. It is a cutting-edge technique that connects medical sensors and their applications to healthcare systems, which is essential in smart healthcare. However, Personal Health Records (PHRs) are normally kept in public cloud servers controlled by IoMT service providers, so privacy and security incidents may be frequent. Fortunately, Searchable Encryption (SE), which can be used to execute queries on encrypted data, can address the issue above. Nevertheless, most existing SE schemes cannot solve the vector dominance threshold… More >

    Blockchain-Based Certificateless Bidirectional Authenticated Searchable Encryption Scheme in Cloud Email System

    Yanzhong Sun1, Xiaoni Du1,*, Shufen Niu2, Xiaodong Yang2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 3287-3310, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.043589 - 11 March 2024

    Abstract Traditional email systems can only achieve one-way communication, which means only the receiver is allowed to search for emails on the email server. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based certificateless bidirectional authenticated searchable encryption model for a cloud email system named certificateless authenticated bidirectional searchable encryption (CL-BSE) by combining the storage function of cloud server with the communication function of email server. In the new model, not only can the data receiver search for the relevant content by generating its own trapdoor, but the data owner also can retrieve the content in the same… More >

    Peng Liu1, Qian He1,*, Baokang Zhao2, Biao Guo1, Zhongyi Zhai1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.3, pp. 3325-3343, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.041167 - 08 October 2023

    Abstract Cloud storage and edge computing are utilized to address the storage and computational challenges arising from the exponential data growth in IoT. However, data privacy is potentially risky when data is outsourced to cloud servers or edge services. While data encryption ensures data confidentiality, it can impede data sharing and retrieval. Attribute-based searchable encryption (ABSE) is proposed as an effective technique for enhancing data security and privacy. Nevertheless, ABSE has its limitations, such as single attribute authorization failure, privacy leakage during the search process, and high decryption overhead. This paper presents a novel approach called… More >

    Zhen Wang, Qiu-yu Zhang*, Ling-tao Meng, Yi-lin Liu

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.3, pp. 6161-6184, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.037134 - 29 April 2023

    Abstract To solve the problem that the existing ciphertext domain image retrieval system is challenging to balance security, retrieval efficiency, and retrieval accuracy. This research suggests a searchable encryption and deep hashing-based secure image retrieval technique that extracts more expressive image features and constructs a secure, searchable encryption scheme. First, a deep learning framework based on residual network and transfer learning model is designed to extract more representative image deep features. Secondly, the central similarity is used to quantify and construct the deep hash sequence of features. The Paillier homomorphic encryption encrypts the deep hash sequence… More >

    Efficient Expressive Attribute-Based Encryption with Keyword Search over Prime-Order Groups

    Qing Miao1, Lan Guo1, Yang Lu1,*, Zhongqi Wang2

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.35, No.3, pp. 2737-2754, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.028693 - 17 August 2022

    Abstract Attribute-based encryption with keyword search (ABEKS) is a novel cryptographic paradigm that can be used to implement fine-grained access control and retrieve ciphertexts without disclosing the sensitive information. It is a perfect combination of attribute-based encryption (ABE) and public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS). Nevertheless, most of the existing ABEKS schemes have limited search capabilities and only support single or simple conjunctive keyword search. Due to the weak search capability and inaccurate search results, it is difficult to apply these schemes to practical applications. In this paper, an efficient expressive ABEKS (EABEKS) scheme supporting More >

    Hyun Sook Rhee*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.73, No.1, pp. 69-85, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.026751 - 18 May 2022

    Abstract As the use of cloud storage for various services increases, the amount of private personal information along with data stored in the cloud storage is also increasing. To remotely use the data stored on the cloud storage, the data to be stored needs to be encrypted for this reason. Since “searchable encryption” is enable to search on the encrypted data without any decryption, it is one of convenient solutions for secure data management. A public key encryption with keyword search (for short, PEKS) is one of searchable encryptions. Abdalla et al. firstly defined IND-CCA security… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.72, No.3, pp. 5429-5441, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.028562 - 21 April 2022

    Abstract With the increasing popularity of cloud storage, data security on the cloud has become increasingly visible. Searchable encryption has the ability to realize the privacy protection and security of data in the cloud. However, with the continuous development of quantum computing, the standard Public-key Encryption with Keyword Search (PEKS) scheme cannot resist quantum-based keyword guessing attacks. Further, the credibility of the server also poses a significant threat to the security of the retrieval process. This paper proposes a searchable encryption scheme based on lattice cryptography using blockchain to address the above problems. Firstly, we design More >

    Attribute-Based Keyword Search over the Encrypted Blockchain

    Zhen Yang1, Hongao Zhang1, Haiyang Yu1,*, Zheng Li1, Bocheng Zhu1, Richard O. Sinnott2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.128, No.1, pp. 269-282, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.015210 - 28 June 2021

    Abstract To address privacy concerns, data in the blockchain should be encrypted in advance to avoid data access from all users in the blockchain. However, encrypted data cannot be directly retrieved, which hinders data sharing in the blockchain. Several works have been proposed to deal with this problem. However, the data retrieval in these schemes requires the participation of data owners and lacks finer-grained access control. In this paper, we propose an attribute-based keyword search scheme over the encrypted blockchain, which allows users to search encrypted files over the blockchain based on their attributes. In addition, More >
