Adaptive grouped balanced binary tree based multi user secure data transmission on cloud

Abstract

Secure multi-keyword search for outsourced cloud data has gained popularity, especially for scenarios involving multiple data owners. This work proposes a method for secure multi-keyword searches across encrypted cloud data from various owners, utilizing an administrator or trustworthy third party for key management. The approach employs the TF-IDF model and Vector Space Model (VSM) to generate index and query vectors, and uses an advanced Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) algorithm for data privacy. The Improved Dingo Optimization Algorithm (IDOA) optimally selects the key value. Encrypted emails are sent to a cloud server, and a Grouped Balanced Binary (GBB) tree structure is used for index construction. The Greedy Depth-First Search (GDFS) method efficiently searches the index, grouping relevant documents to exclude unnecessary ones. Performance is evaluated based on memory usage, execution time, encryption and decryption times, and search times, implemented in Java and tested on a cloud simulator.
