Blockchain technology has been extensively uti-lized in decentralized data-sharing applications, with the immutability of blockchain providing a witness for the circulation of data. However, current blockchain data-sharing solutions still fail to address the simultaneous screening needs of both the sender and receiver with multi-keywords. Without the capability to support bilateral simultaneous filtering, the disclosure of reasons for matching failures could inadvertently expose sensitive user data. Therefore, the challenge lies in enabling ciphertexts with multiple keywords and receivers with multiple interests to achieve mutual and simultaneous matching. Based on the technical foundations of SE (Searchable Encryption), MABE (Multi-Attribute Based Encryption), and polynomial fitting, this paper proposes a scheme called DMSA (Decentralized and Multi-keyword selective Sharing and selective Acquisition). This scheme can satisfy soundness, enabling ciphertexts carrying multiple keywords and receivers representing multiple interests to match each other simultaneously. We conducted a security analysis that confirms the security of DMSA against chosen-plaintext attacks. Our experimental results demonstrate a significant efficiency improvement, with a 67% increase over single-keyword data-sharing schemes and a 16% enhancement compared to the existing multi-keyword data-sharing solution.
