Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things(IoMT) has powerful cloud computing ability and efficient data collection ability, which can improve the accuracy and convenience of medical work. As most communications are over open networks, data should encrypted before uploading to ensure the confidentiality of sensitive user data. Searching for encrypted data has become a challenging problem. Public key Encryption with Keyword Search (PEKS) supports the search of encrypted data and provides data privacy protection. PEKS has become a trendy technology, but PEKS still has the following problems: 1. The cloud server, as a semi-honest but curious third party, is likely to return some wrong search results to save computing and bandwidth resources. 2. The single keyword search inevitably produces irrelevant results, wasting computing and bandwidth resources. 3. Most PEKS schemes use bilinear pairing, so the computational efficiency is relatively low. 4. PEKS schemes based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) or identity-based cryptography inevitably face problems with certificate management or key escrow. 5. Most PEKS schemes face serious security threats such as Keyword Guessing Attacks (KGA) and File Injection Attacks (FIA). To solve the above problems, we propose a new certificateless verifiable bilinear pair-free conjunctive keyword search encryption scheme(CLVPFCKS) for IoMT using multi-signature.
