GhostDB: Hiding Data from Prying Eyes

Summary: GhostDB isolates sensitive data on a tamper-resistant smart USB, keeping it off internet-accessible systems while supporting unchanged SQL over public and private data. Its asymmetric, one-way public-to-private query processing reveals only queries and accessed public data. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 21 2026)
