Building Enclave-Native Storage Engines for Practical Encrypted Databases

Summary: Examines enclave-based encrypted storage design, mapping security, performance, and functionality trade-offs. Proposes Enclage, an enclave-native storage engine with page-level encryption, reduced enclave interaction, delta decryption, and an optimal enclave page size; yields ~13x throughput and ~5x storage savings.
