Encryption integration for native databases using emulation
The patent US12039073B2 describes an emulation system designed to enhance data security within a dynamic schema database. The system comprises at least one processor that integrates an emulation layer into the database architecture, ensuring that designated data is consistently stored in an encrypted format. This processor is responsible for accepting and responding to database queries through the emulation layer, while also maintaining encrypted state information associated with the data. The emulation layer allows for the execution of queries against the designated data and ensures that any output from these queries is returned to clients in an encrypted format, thereby preserving data confidentiality throughout the process.
Additionally, the patent outlines methods for transforming plaintext data into an encrypted multi-map and managing concurrent access to the encrypted state information. The processor can generate and encrypt state dictionaries and multi-maps that link labels to counters, facilitating efficient data retrieval and query processing. The system also includes mechanisms for constructing tokens based on retrieved encrypted state information, which can include cyphertext values and index values. This comprehensive approach to data management and encryption aims to provide robust security measures while maintaining the functionality of the dynamic schema database.
