Abstract

The method of probalistic searching on encrypted data can be utilized for a confidential mobile mail retrieval system where the e-mails are stored and processed in an untrusted domain. We discuss the necessary modification to the theoretical settings in the procedures and algorithms, but also the actual used technical means. We show that it is possible to deploy an adapted version of the system in [Proceedings of the 21st Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) Symposium on Security and Privacy, Berkeley, CA (2000) 44] in a secure and user-friendly manner in the constraint mobile environment.
