The document discusses the increasing use of cloud computing by businesses and the challenges associated with data security and privacy, particularly in public cloud environments. It proposes a novel encryption technique that allows secure access to and the storage of data on public cloud servers, enabling users to search encrypted data without compromising confidentiality. The proposed architecture involves a data owner encrypting data before storage, a client accessing it with encrypted queries, and a cloud service provider facilitating data storage without being able to read the encrypted content.
