Abstract

Searchable encryption allows a party to search over encrypted data without decrypting it. Prior schemes in the symmetric setting deal only with exact or similar keyword matches. We describe a scheme for the problem of wildcard searches over encrypted data to make search queries more flexible, provide a security proof for our scheme and com- pare the computational, communication and space complexity with existing schemes. We develop an efficient scheme, using pseudorandom functions and Bloom filters, that supports wildcard searches over encrypted data. The scheme also supports conjunctive wildcard searches, efficient and secure updates and is more efficient than previous solutions. Besides, our construction is independent of the encryption method of the remote data and is practical to use in real world applications.
