Developers of encrypted databases and security researchers are at loggerheads about a study that property-preserving encrypted databases may be vulnerable to attack.
The researchers – Muhammad Naveed of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Charles Wright of Portland State University, and Seny Kamara of Microsoft Research – reckon inference attacks on encrypted database (EDB) systems like CryptDB, Cipherbase, and Encrypted BigQuery are possible using only encrypted column and publicly available auxiliary information. Developers contend that the research is invalid because the cracked systems don't correspond to recommended deployment scenarios.
