Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A public parameter PK is key information used in a secret search system having: a transmission device generating and sending an encryption tag which is an encrypted keyword; a server receiving and storing the encryption tag and conducting a secret search in response to a request for the secret search; and a reception device generating a trapdoor which corresponds to a digital signature of the keyword and as well data requesting the secret search, sending the trapdoor to the server, and receiving a search result. The public parameter PK includes a true public parameter PP and a protection key PK′. The transmission device and the reception device require both the true public parameter PP and the protection key PK′; however, the server does not require the protection key PK′. The key generation device generates separately the true public parameter PP and the protection key PK′ included in the public parameter PK.
