Combining Public Key Encryption with Keyword Search and Public Key Encryption
In this paper, we study the problem of secure integrating public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) with public key data encryption (PKE). We argue the previous security model is not complete regarding keyword privacy and the previous constructions are secure only in the random oracle model. We solve these problems by first defining a new security model, then give a generic construction which is secure in the new security model without random oracles. Our construction is based on secure PEKS and tag-KEM/DEM schemes and achieves modular design. We also give some applications and extensions for our construction. For example, instantiate our construction with proper components, we have a concrete scheme without random oracles, whose performance is even competitive to the previous schemes with random oracles.
