Abstract

A document processing method and system divides a document into document pages, and encrypts the document pages by first key to obtain a plurality of encrypted pages; picks a part of words from the document pages and encrypts them by second key to obtain a Significant Word Set (SWS); picks a part of words from the picked part of words and encrypts them by third key to obtain a Most Relevant Word Set (MRWS). The encrypted pages, the SWS and the MRWS are transmits to a remote server for storage. When user search a keyword in the document, the keyword is encrypted by the second and third keys for performing two query. The first query result is decrypted to obtain the search result. The second query result is decrypted and then checked whether it is a subset of the first decrypted query result for detecting unfaithful execution.
