Abstract
Traditional searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) schemes rarely support context-aware semantic extension, and then lead to the searched results being incomplete or deviating from the user's query intention. To address this problem, a new context-aware semantically extensible searchable symmetric encryption based on Word2vec model (CASE-SSE) is proposed to achieve context-aware semantic extension in this article. The proposed scheme utilizes outsourced datasets as corpora to extract all keywords for training the Word2vec model, and the trained results is the ontology knowledge base that can be used to extend the semantics of query keywords directly. Further, to facilitate multi-keyword search using the extended query vector, we use the k-means clustering algorithm to classify outsourced datasets. We then construct an AVL-tree index and an inverted index based on the classified results, thereby achieving efficient context-aware semantically extensible SSE. The security analysis indicates it is secure and effective. The experimental results show that our scheme is superior in both efficiency and accuracy.
