MunavvaraTahaseen; Maniza Hijab
Cloud computing enables outsourcing of private data onto third party servers where there is a possibility of data breach. For security reasons searchable encryption techniques can be used to encrypt data before outsourcing it to an un-trusted third party cloud server, with the ability to selectively search over it. The objective of ranked search is to improve system usability by searching results based on relevance ranking rather than boolean search. In this paper we briefly provide the different kinds of Ranked searches, the different searchable encryption techniques, which have been proposed so far, compare them and conclude which ranked keyword search is efficient.
