A report on design and implementation of protected searchable data in IaaS
Antonis Michalas, Rafael Dowsley, Matthias Nagel · Diva portal (Dalarna University Library) · 2016
In the first part of this report we present a survey of the state of the art in searchable encryption and its relevance for cloud computing. In particular we focus on the OpenStack open-source cloud platform and investigate which searchable encryption schemes are more amenable for adoption in conjunction with platforms based on OpenStack. Based on that survey we chose one of the schemes to implement and test if it is practical enough to deploy in real systems. On the second part of this report we discuss the results of the implementation.
