  • Patent number: 11947684
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for searching encrypted data. A search query containing a plaintext key can be received from a client device or other application. A request can then be sent to a storage engine for a ciphertext key of a node of a binary tree, the node representing an encrypted key-value pair that includes the ciphertext key. The ciphertext key can be decrypted using a cryptographic key to generate a decrypted ciphertext key. Then, the decrypted ciphertext key can be compared to the plaintext key. A determination can then be made as to whether the encrypted key-value pair represented by the node of the binary tree satisfies the search query based at least in part on a comparison of the decrypted ciphertext key to the plaintext key.
