Cryptanalysis of Comparable Encryption in SIGMOD'16
Summary: Cryptanalysis of Karras et al.'s comparable encryption (basic and ambiguous) via simple linear algebra. Attacks use only a handful of tokens and plaintext-ciphertext pairs, undermining the claimed l-level security for range and point queries. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
