Achieving Efficient and Privacy-Preserving Set Containment Search Over Encrypted Data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Set containment search, which aims to retrieve all set records containing a specific query set, has received considerable attention. Meanwhile, due to the dramatic growth of data, data owners tend to outsource their data to the cloud and deploy the cloud server to offer the set containment search services. However, as the cloud server is not fully trustable and the data may be sensitive, a straightforward strategy for the data owners is to encrypt the data before outsourcing them. Although the encryption technique can preserve data privacy, it inevitably hinders the functionality of set containment search. Many existing studies on the set containment search over outsourced data still suffer from the search efficiency and security issues. In this article, aiming at the above issues, we propose an efficient and privacy-preserving set containment search scheme. Specifically, we first deploy an asymmetric scalar-product-preserving encryption technique to design a set containment/intersection encryption (SCIE-Enc) scheme. Then, we build a radix tree to represent the set records. Based on the radix tree and SCIE-Enc construction, we present our scheme that can achieve efficient set containment search while preserving the privacy of set records, query sets, and query results, as indicated in our security analysis and performance evaluation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
