New SEEK protocol enables secure encrypted keyword search for messaging

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed SEEK, a novel protocol designed for secure and efficient encrypted keyword searches within privacy-preserving messaging systems. By combining homomorphic encryption with secure two-party computation, SEEK partitions messages and correlates them using encrypted trapdoors, significantly reducing sender-side overhead. The protocol accurately identifies keyword presence without revealing sensitive information like the keyword itself, its length, or message content, demonstrating practical feasibility with a prototype evaluation. AI

IMPACT Enhances privacy in messaging by enabling secure keyword searches without compromising data.

    SEEK: Secure and Efficient Encrypted Keyword Search For Privacy-Preserving Messaging Protocols

    Encrypted communication protects sensitive user data but can facilitate harmful or unlawful exchanges, creating a trade-off between detecting dangerous messages and preserving end-user privacy. To address this, we propose SEEK, a practical and efficient encrypted keyword-search p…
