Queryable Encryption

Queryable Encryption is a feature that allows you to perform expressive queries on data while it remains encrypted on the database server. It ensures that sensitive information is stored in an encrypted state at all times, even while in use by the application, by using client-side encryption keys that are never shared with the database. This allows users to search, filter, and retrieve specific records without needing to decrypt the entire dataset on the server, balancing data privacy with functional database performance.
