Abstract

Server-side encrypted pattern matching may minimize the risk of data theft due to server breach and/or unauthorized data access. In various implementations, a server for performing the server-side encrypted pattern matching may include an interface component to receive an encrypted query token. The server may further include a query component to find a match for the encrypted query token in the encrypted data string. The query component may find such a match without decrypting the encrypted data string and the encrypted query token by using an encrypted dictionary that includes information on the edges of the encrypted suffix tree.
