  This repository contains a master's thesis and related research papers on
  encrypted search systems, which enable untrusted cloud servers to search
  encrypted documents on behalf of authorized users without revealing document
  contents or query terms. The research explores secure indexes based on
  approximate set data structures (Bloom filters and Perfect Hash Filters),
  information leakage analysis, and IR scoring techniques (BM25, proximity
  scoring) adapted for encrypted search with plausible deniability.
