A Survey on Attribute Based Encryption to Improve Efficiency in Semantic Search Over Cloud Data

Abstract: Mobile cloud computing provides the capability of sharing of the data that is encrypted with different user through cloud Storage. This raises the point of security issues over data confidentiality and authentication access control. The blind storage allows a client to store the number of files on remote server, where remote server is not familiar with the files that are stored in it. In Attribute based encryption (ABE), the encryption is performed on the attributes and allows only those users to access the data if the attributes are available in their ID. This paper proposes the semantic search for encrypted multi- ranked over the cloud data. The multi- ranked scheme can search based on the results obtained in ranked search with efficient accuracy by using k-nearest neighbor technique. It also uses ABE technology with modification that minimizes the limitation of ABE. To make the search efficient blind storage system is used to hide access control issues in searchable encryption technique. The security analysis scheme is used to achieve authentication and confidentiality of the document.
