If you are a medical data provider dealing with strict patient privacy laws — this project developed an encrypted database-as-a-service that allows advanced analytics without exposing raw patient records. This ensures compliance with GDPR and HIPAA while enabling research.
Secure Data Processing That Keeps Information Encrypted Even During Analysis
Imagine having a locked safe where you can still organize and count the money inside without ever opening the door. Usually, to work with data, you have to unlock it, which is when hackers can steal it. This technology lets computers perform calculations on scrambled data so the secret key never has to be revealed.
What needed solving
Organizations cannot process sensitive data without decrypting it first, creating a window of vulnerability for breaches and regulatory non-compliance.
What was built
An SDK for encrypted SQL and analytics and an enterprise-ready Encrypted Database-as-a-Service (EDBaaS) platform.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a digital news publisher dealing with sensitive subscriber information — this project developed an SDK that enables encrypted SQL queries. This allows you to run business reports on your data without risking a leak of private user details.
If you are a financial institution dealing with multi-party collaboration across borders — this project developed Vaultree Encrypted Data Sharing (VEDS). It allows multiple parties to collaborate on encrypted data without ever sharing the actual decryption keys.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing model for this technology?
Based on available project data, specific pricing details are not provided, but the solution is delivered as an SDK and a Database-as-a-Service (EDBaaS).
Can this be scaled for large industrial datasets?
Yes, the technology has been successfully tested on over 500 million data sets in multi-user environments and includes research into FPGA and GPU acceleration for high performance.
What is the IP and licensing status?
The project developed 22 patents, with 1 granted, 13 filed, and 8 in preparation, protecting the proprietary code and encryption algorithms.
How does this help with legal regulations?
It enables organizations to remain compliant with GDPR, HIPAA, and NIS2 by ensuring data remains encrypted even while being processed.
How is the technology integrated into existing systems?
It provides an SDK that integrates into enterprise systems and supports common databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Google BigQuery.
Who built it
The project is led by a single SME, Vaultree Limited from Ireland. This 100% industry-led structure indicates a strong focus on commercial viability and rapid productization rather than academic research, as evidenced by the high number of patent filings and direct industry trials.
