Abstract:
In recent years, encrypted databases have emerged as a promising direction that provides data confidentiality without sacrificing functionality: queries are executed on encrypted data. However, existing practical proposals rely on a set of weak encryption schemes that have been shown to leak sensitive data.
In this talk, I will present a new system Arx, a practical and functionally rich database system that encrypts the data only with semantically secure encryption schemes. We show that Arx supports real applications such as ShareLaTeX and a health data cloud provider, and that its performance overhead is modest.
