Enhancing privacy in document-oriented databases using searchable encryption and fully homomorphic encryption

Abstrak

In cloud-based not only SQL (NoSQL) databases, maintaining data privacy and the integrity are critically challenged by the risks of unauthorized external access and potential threats from malicious insiders. This paper presents a proxy-based solution that provides privacy-preserving by combining searchable encryption and brakerski-fan-vercauteren (BFV) fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to facilitate secure search and aggregate query execution on encrypted data. Through extensive performance evaluations and security analyses, we show that our approach offers a robust solution for privacy-preserving data operations, with performance overhead introduced by the use of FHE. This solution gives an opportunity for a robust framework for secure data management and querying in NoSQL databases, with promising implications for practical deployment and future research. This work represents a significant advancement in the secure handling of data in NoSQL oriented databases, supplying a practical solution for privacy-conscious organizations.
