【Abstract】With the emergence of cloud storage security, how to ensure the security of cloud storage has become a research focus. The typical searchable encryption model consists of a single cloud service provider and has some unsolvable drawbacks. In this article, a new searchable encryption scheme in multi-cloud was proposed based on blockchain. We first define a system model in multiple clouds and combine multiple cloud service providers to store data through a consortium chain. Then we store the encrypted documents and indexes in The Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and store the hash value and IPFS address of the documents in the blockchain. Our scheme can provide outsourced encrypted data retrieval based on multiple keywords, as well as verification schemes for the integrity of retrieved files. The theoretical analysis and experiments on real-world data show the security and high performance of our scheme.
