Abstract
There exist only a few papers in the literature which target the problem of “proposing a secure designated server identity-based encryption with keyword search scheme.” In this paper, we prove that they all suffer from security issues, and therefore, this challenging problem still remains open.

Notes
For the sake of simplicity, we review the scheme in single keyword mode. However, the flaws we report apply to the conjunctive case as well.
For the sake of simplicity, we review the scheme in single receiver mode. However, the flaw we report applies to the multiple receiver mode as well.
