Abstract: Cloud computing has become essential for storing sensitive data sets that are centralized in the cloud. The need for privacy and protection of files and documents has increased day by day. Data users typically dump the most powerful information in cloud storage to prevent third parties from accessing data in cloud storage. In legacy systems, end users safely retrieved encrypted information using keyword search. However, in existing systems, we recommend only individual keywords and Boolean keywords, which is not yet sufficient to ensure efficient data usage for a vast number of data users and the number of documents in the cloud repository. This work aims to develop a systematic approach to searching multi keywords in the cloud with ciphertext data. The cloud server carries out risk-free investigations with no clear information about keywords and trap doors. The client or user uses multiple keywords to perform data retrieval. When the client enters a question for many words, the server breaks the question into one word and retrieves the word from the index. In this task, the cipher text policy attribute-based encryption (CPABE) algorithm is used to perform encryption of files and documents. Experimental results show 95% accuracy with a data set size of 1000, for both single and multiple keyword searches. Because previous research were limited to single searches, this new work performs multiple keyword searches with unique security aspects to create a multi-keyword search system rather than the cryptographic data in the cloud.
