Dynamic searchable symmetric encryption
Seny Kamara, Charalampos Papamanthou, Tom Roeder · 2012
Searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) allows a client to encrypt its data in such a way that this data can still be searched. The most immediate application of SSE is to cloud storage, where it enables a client to securely outsource its data to an untrusted cloud provider without sacrificing the ability to search over it.
