Geometric Range Search on Encrypted Spatial Data
Abstract
Geometric range search in SQL and NoSQL databases is a fundamental primitive for spatial data analysis. It has extensive applications in location-based services, computer-aided design, and computer geometry. Geometric Range Search on Encrypted Spatial Data Due to the dramatic increase in data size, it is necessary for companies and organizations to outsource their spatial data sets to third-party cloud services (e.g., Amazon) to reduce the cost of storage and query processing, but in the meantime with the promise of no privacy leakage to third parties.

Conclusion
We study a general approach to securely search for encrypted spatial data with geometric range queries. Specifically, our solution is independent of a geometric range query shape. With the additional use of R-trees, our scheme is able to achieve faster than linear search complexity with regard to the number of points in a dataset.
