Searchable Encryption
___
Predicate encryption is a new encryption paradigm which allows a party with a capability to perform computations on the ciphertext. For example, with the appropriate capability, one may be able to search for all (encrypted) emails that contain the keyword "crypto". I will talk about how to support expressive predicates in predicate encryption, and how to protect the privacy of the predicates (in addition to privacy of the content) in the symmetric-key setting.
