  • Abstract
    Since there are many sources of potentially identifying information in web search (e.g. IP address), we need to ways to hide major clues to the user´s identity. Although there have been prior attempts to address this problem, all of them incur linear round complexity in the number of users. In this paper, we construct a constant-round private web search protocol using decomposable encryption, secure in the honest-but-curious model.
