SSEPy: Implementation of searchable symmetric encryption in pure Python
Searchable symmetric encryption, one of the research hotspots in applied cryptography, has continued to be studied for two decades. A number of excellent SSE schemes have emerged, enriching functionality and optimizing performance. However, many SSE schemes have not been implemented concretely and are generally stuck in the prototype implementation stage, and worse, most SSE schemes are not publicly available in source code. Based on this foundation, this project first implements SSE schemes (first single-keyword, then multi-keyword) published in top conferences and journals, and then implements them into concrete applications. I hope that this project will provide a good aid for researchers as well as a reference for industry.
This is a project that is moving forward…
