Orthogonal Security With Cipherbase

Summary: Cipherbase augments SQL Server with FPGA-based trusted hardware to store and process strongly encrypted data, enabling high-performance encrypted-query execution. Paper presents the FPGA secure-co-processor design and hardware/software co-design for split execution across secure enclaves and commodity nodes. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
