first symmetric key schemes for keyword search over encrypted data are proposed in [27]. The authors consider a setting in which the sender of file encrypts each word of a file separately. Goh [15] proposed a method for secure index using Bloom filters and introduced the notion of semantic security against adaptive chosen-keyword attacks. Determining whether a file contains a keyword can be done securely in constant time. In the public key setting, Boneh et al.[5] first proposed public key…
