Profile matching (PM) is a crucial method in cloud-based applications including Health Care and Social Networks (HC-SNs). In Mobile Social Cloud Networks (MSCNs), matching user profiles while maintaining privacy is a demanding challenge that has garnered greater attention in recent days. This article represents a new scheme called Modified Cipher Text based Policy Encryption Scheme (MCT-PES), proposed for Solitude Adaptable User Profile Matching for MSCNs (SA-UPM) using Homomorphic Encryption (Ho-En) technique for multiple recipients. In this module, a client submits a Priority-Profile (PP) and searches decentralized MSCNs for people with MP. In this method, neither the participant's profile nor the PP given by the participant is revealed. Furthermore, a Secure Transmission Medium (STM) may be formed between the pair of correctly matched users (MUs). Initially, it ensures verifiability, ensuring that no participant may deceive the initiator by providing an incorrect matching result. Then, the matched profile pair may be used it to create a STM that can withstand an eavesdropping attempt. Furthermore, the mismatched user may be promptly ruled out. Additionally, just a limited exchange between the originator and MUs are required since the MUs can determine the similar outcome without the assistance of the originator, which is beneficial for lowering computational problems and costs.

Abstract


Profile matching (PM) is a crucial method in cloud-based applications including Health Care and Social Networks (HC-SNs). In Mobile Social Cloud Networks (MSCNs), matching user profiles while maintaining privacy is a demanding challenge that has garnered greater attention in recent days. This article represents a new scheme called Modified Cipher Text based Policy Encryption Scheme (MCT-PES), proposed for Solitude Adaptable User Profile Matching for MSCNs (SA-UPM) using Homomorphic Encryption (Ho-En) technique for multiple recipients. In this module, a client submits a Priority-Profile (PP) and searches decentralized MSCNs for people with MP. In this method, neither the participant's profile nor the PP given by the participant is revealed. Furthermore, a Secure Transmission Medium (STM) may be formed between the pair of correctly matched users (MUs). Initially, it ensures verifiability, ensuring that no participant may deceive the initiator by providing an incorrect matching result. Then, the matched profile pair may be used it to create a STM that can withstand an eavesdropping attempt. Furthermore, the mismatched user may be promptly ruled out. Additionally, just a limited exchange between the originator and MUs are required since the MUs can determine the similar outcome without the assistance of the originator, which is beneficial for lowering computational problems and costs.
