SecuDB: An In-enclave Privacy-preserving and Tamper-resistant Relational Database

Summary: SecuDB places a complete relational DBMS inside Intel TDX, combining column/log/statistics masking for multi-granularity privacy with TEE-endorsed temporal tables for tamper-evident data and query verification. It retains 84.7–94.7% performance, with <22.6% tamper-resistance overhead. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
