Abstract

There is provided a method of generating a ciphertext. The method includes encrypting an input data to produce an encrypted data, and randomizing the encrypted data to produce the ciphertext. In particular, the randomizing process includes performing an exclusive-or (xor) operation on the encrypted data with a cipher pad, whereby the cipher pad is generated based on an xor-homomorphic function of a first key using a second key generated based on the encrypted data. There is also provided a corresponding system for generating a ciphertext, a corresponding method and system for decrypting a ciphertext, and a corresponding method and system for searching ciphertexts in a database, such as at an untrusted server.
