We identify and fill some gaps with regard to consistency (the extent to which false positives are produced) for public-key
encryption with keyword search (PEKS). We define computational and statistical relaxations of the existing notion of perfect
consistency, show that the scheme of [7] is computationally consistent, and provide a new scheme that is statistically consistent.
We also provide a transform of an anonymous IBE scheme to a secure PEKS scheme that, unlike the previous one, guarantees consistency.
Finally we suggest three extensions of the basic notions considered here, namely anonymous HIBE, public-key encryption with
temporary keyword search, and identity-based encryption with keyword search.
