In view of the high cost as well as the limitation of retrieval function of the existing searchable encryption schemes based on blockchain to realize result verification and fair payment, a multi-keyword ranked search scheme supporting verification and fair payment was proposed based on blockchain. In the proposed scheme, the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) was used to store the encrypted index tree and perform search operations, and a lookup table including verification certificates was constructed to assist the smart contract to complete the verification of retrieval results and fair payment, which reduced the complexity of smart contract execution and saved time as well as expensive cost. In addition, the index of balanced binary tree structure was constructed by combining vector space model and Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), and the index and query vectors were encrypted by using secure K -nearest neighbor, which realized the multi-keyword ranked search supporting dynamic update. Security and performance analysis show that the proposed scheme is secure and feasible in the blockchain environment and under the known ciphertext model. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve result verification and fair payment with acceptable cost.
