Centralized multi-user and dynamic multi-keywords search scheme over encrypted cloud data

The main intension of using cloud computing these days is its ease of use and cost effectiveness and because of this reason most of the data administrators are interested to externalize their data to the cloud server which bring various privacy issues. As the data is going to reside in the extrinsic cloud in order to secure the sensitive data which may contain personal photos and emails of the data administrators there is a need to encrypt that particular data before externalizing it to the cloud server. This technique however reduces the usage of conventional method of using data through plaintext keyword search and therefore there is a need to authorize an encrypted cloud data search service which is very important. As a solution we concentrate on multiple keywords given by the users and thus the approach presented here is known as secure multi-keyword ranked search over encrypted cloud data. This scheme also supports some of the functions like uploading and deletion of files which can be done by multi-users. We use vector model and to deliver cost-effective multi-keyword ranked search we propose RSA algorithm. The proposed scheme makes use of a structure known as tree-based indexing to develop search competence and also provides adaptable uploading and deletion of files.

I. Introduction

Cloud computing is used to organize huge resources of computing, storage and applications. It is available on internet which consists of resources such as hardware and software. It is controlled by third-party service which gives access to various software applications and networks.[11] Regardless of various benefits of cloud storage, externalizing secret data to remote access servers cause various secrecy issues. Cloud computing provides on-demand self-service where in which a customer supplies many computing capabilities like storage of network and server time without any requirement of human interaction. Cloud computing has broad network access where in which a lot of capabilities are made available for the users to access over the network by the use of thick or thin client platforms.
