Abstract
The present invention relates a method for ensuring search completeness of searchable public key encryption, applicable to a blockchain network formed by a plurality of computer nodes. The method at least comprises: the blockchain network receiving a keyword ciphertext and a corresponding file-identifier ciphertext generated by a transmitting end based on the public key encryption, and at least one miner storing the ciphertexts in a ciphertext table; the blockchain network receiving a search trapdoor Tw transmitted by a receiving end, generated according to a private key and a keyword w to be searched; the at least one miner in the blockchain network performing a secure search based on information of a state table and the search trapdoor Tw, and outputting a search result to the blockchain network; and the blockchain network feeding the search result back to the receiving end. The invention uses the blockchain technology to solve the long-standing search completeness problem in searchable public key encryption, and the proposed method has universality.
