Compared to existing solutions

Most secure database solutions today only encrypt data for storage, and at most use a hardware security module (HSM) to store the corresponding cryptographic keys. Such an approach can only protect data at rest. Once the data is decrypted for processing, the confidentiality of sensitive data is no longer guaranteed.

EdgelessDB is the logical next step in hardware-rooted security: the fusion of relational databases and HSMs to protect your keys and your data both at rest and at runtime.

The following table summarizes the security differences between EdgelessDB and normal databases.
