Summary: Efficient and secure search of sensitive data in cloud storage is a challenging problem. Searchable encryption technique provides a solution that preserves data confidentiality and usability. However, traditional PEKS schemes are vulnerable to inside keyword guessing attacks. To address this problem, the notion of Dual-server Public-key Authenticated Encryption with Keyword Search (DPAEKS) is introduced, which leverages two non-cooperating servers to resist inside keyword guessing attacks and supports authentication. A construction of DPAEKS without bilinear pairings is provided.

Summary: The broadcast proxy re-encryption methods extend traditional proxy re-encryption mechanisms and propose a scheme called MBP for IoT applications. MBP calculates a single re-encryption key for all user groups and uses multi-channel broadcast encryption to reduce security element size. However, it increases computation time for receiver IoT devices. The use of Rubinstein-Stahl bargaining game approach addresses this issue and MBP is secure against selective group chosen-ciphertext attack in the random oracle model.
