Abstract:
After many searchable symmetric schemes have been proposed and proven secure, a few published works show empirical evidence of successful attacks on all published schemes. The attacks indicate a gap between the current security models and the practical attackers. This work reviews indistinguishability and semantic security games for SSE. Finally, a new security definition against the practical attacks is proposed and proven to imply current security definitions.
Keywords: searchable encryption, SSE, security model
