Search problems

Abstract

Recently, there has been much interest in the data mining and other communities for secure protocols for a wide variety of tasks. This interest exists not only in academic circles, but also in industry, in part due to the growing conflict between the privacy concerns of citizens and the homeland security needs of governments. In this chapter we focus on search problems involving two parties; a client that is interested in performing a search in a database that is being held by a server. The (informal) security requirements for search problems assert that the server should not learn any useful information regarding the search conducted by the client, while the client should learn the search result but nothing more.
