Title:
Oblivious Keyword Search

Authors: Wakaha Ogata, Kaoru Kurosawa

Abstract:

In this paper,
we introduce a notion of Oblivious Keyword Search (OKS).
Let W be the set of possible keywords.
In the commit phase, a database supplier T commits n data.
In each transfer subphase,
a user U can choose a keyword w \in W adaptively
and find Search(w) without revealing w to T,
where Search(w) is the set of all data which includes w as a keyword.

We then show two efficient protocols
such that the size of the commitments is only (nB)
regardless of the size of W, where B is the size of each data.
It is formally proved that U learns nothing more and
T gains no information on the keywords which U searched.
We further present a more efficient adaptive OT_k^n protocol
than the previous one as an application of our first OKS protocol.
