  • As more and more enterprises and individuals choose to outsource their encrypted private data to the cloud, Searchable Encryption (SE), which solves the issue of keyword-searching over encrypted data, is becoming much more important. To overcome typos and semantic diversity existing in query requests, fuzzy search is introduced to achieve a misspelling-tolerate search-supported encryption scheme. However, current schemes of fuzzy search over encrypted data not only bring in high computing and communication overhead in multi-user scenarios but also are unable to cover all kinds of error types under the premise of an effective accuracy. In this paper, we thus propose a multi-user multi-keyword fuzzy searchable encryption scheme. Specifically, we introduce the permuterm index to support multi-keyword wildcard search which can solve more kinds of misspelling with a higher degree of correctness. Moreover, by letting the cloud server re-encrypt indexes user encrypt, our scheme supports unshared-key multi-user fuzzy search, reducing users' computing overhead effectively and improving the level of privacy-preserving. The results of experiments demonstrate that, compared with existing schemes, our scheme not only has a better accuracy rate, but also supports more varieties of misspelling keyword search with acceptable computational overhead.
