Order-preserving encryption (OPE) is a cryptographic primitive that preserves the order of plaintexts. In the past few years, many OPE schemes have been studied to solve the problem of executing range queries in encrypted databases. However, OPE allows certain information to be leaked (for example, the order of ciphertext), so it is vulnerable to many attacks. Subsequently, order-revealing encryption (ORE), as a generalization of order-preserving encryption, breaks through the limitation of the numeric order of OPE plaintext. It implements ciphertext comparison for any specific form of plaintext through a publicly computable comparison function. In this work, we aim to design the new ORE scheme which reduces the leakage and preserves the practicality in terms of ciphertext length and encryption time. We first propose the hybrid model named HybridORE. Then, we propose an improved scheme named EncodeORE which achieves acceptable security and appropriate ciphertext length. They both explore the encode strategy of encoding plaintext into different parts and apply suitable ORE algorithms to each part according to its security characteristics to reduce leakage. Compared with the typical schemes in large domain, they have less leakage. The experiment shows that the proposed EncodeORE is very practical.
