    Abstract:

    Attribute-based searchable encryption (ABSE) enables secure and fine-grained sharing of encrypted data in multi-user environments. However, it typically encounters challenges such as high computational overhead for encryption and decryption, limited query efficiency, and the inability to update indexes dynamically. To address these limitations, this study proposes an efficient searchable scheme based on ABSE that supports dynamic index updates. The reuse of identical access policies minimizes redundant computation during encryption. Most decryption operations are securely outsourced to the cloud, thus reducing the local device’s computational load. An inverted index structure supporting multi-keyword Boolean retrieval is constructed by integrating hash tables with skip lists. BLS short signature technology is employed to verify the permissions for index updates, ensuring data owners can manage the retrieval of encrypted data. Formal security analysis confirms that the proposed scheme effectively defends against collusion attacks, chosen plaintext attacks, forged update tokens, and decryption key forgery. Experimental results demonstrate high efficiency in both retrieval and index update operations, along with a significant reduction in encryption overhead when access policy reuse occurs.
