Abstract:

As data becomes a new factor of production, the demand for data circulation is growing. However, the sensitive information faces the risk of leakage during the circulation process. Privacy-preserving computing can promote the release of data value while satisfying privacy-preserving constraints. Oblivious keyword search (OKS) is one of the basic tasks of privacy-preserving computing, and it is very important for the application of privacy-preserving computing. In this paper, we first introduce the task definition of OKS and the related tasks. Then, we introduce in detail the typical technical routes of OKS. Finally, we analyze and discuss the technical challenges and future research directions of current OKS technology.

Key words: oblivioussearch, information retrieval, privacy preserving computing
