Integrity-based Attacks for Encrypted Databases and Implications

Summary: Enclave-based encrypted DBs resist prior property-preserving inference attacks but can be broken via integrity-based attacks. Paper identifies query-integrity and data-integrity attack patterns that enable plaintext recovery and argue for integrity protection in future designs. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
