Encrypted image retrieval in multi-key settings based on edge computing

Abstract

Aiming at the fact that the existing encrypted image retrieval schemes do not consider different keys to encrypt images,a multi-key encrypted image retrieval system based on edge computing (including basic scheme and enhanced scheme) based on local sensitive hashing,secure nearest neighbor and proxy re-encryption technologies was proposed.The retrieval efficiency and accuracy were improved and the extra computational cost of query users was reduced.Security analysis shows that the basic scheme can only resist the known ciphertext attack,while the enhanced scheme can resist the known background attack.The experimental performance test based on the real-world dataset shows that the proposed schemes are feasible in practical application scenarios.
