Efficient phrase search with reliable verification over encrypted cloud-IoT data.

ABSTRACT: Phrase search encryption enables users to retrieve encrypted data containing a sequence of consecutive keywords without decrypting, which plays an important role in cloud Internet of Things (IoT) systems. However, due to the sequential relationship between keywords in the phrase, phrase search and verification are more difficult than multi-keyword search. Furthermore, verification evidence is generated by the server in existing schemes, and cloud servers are generally considered untrustworthy, so the verification is unreliable. To address this, we propose an efficient phrase search scheme that supports reliable verification of search results, where blockchain is introduced to generate verification evidence and perform verification of the results. The immutable nature of blockchain guarante
