Exploiting Update Leakage in Searchable Symmetric Encryption
Dynamic Searchable Symmetric Encryption (DSSE) provides efficient techniques for securely searching and updating an encrypted database. However, efficient DSSE schemes leak some sensitive information to the server. Recent works have implemented forward and backward privacy as security properties to …
