Abstract:
In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided systems and methods for implementing an encrypted search index. According to a particular embodiment such a system a processor and a memory to execute instructions at the system; a search index stored on disk within the system comprised of a plurality of individual search index files, the search index having customer information stored therein, wherein at least one of the individual search index files constitutes a term dictionary or a term index type file having internal structure which allows a portion of the individual search index file to be updated, encrypted, and/or decrypted without affecting the internal structure of the individual search index file; a file input/output (IO) layer to encrypt the customer information being written into the individual search index file and to decrypt the customer information being read from the individual search index file, wherein the file IO layer encrypts and decrypts only a portion of the individual search index file in reply to an operation without requiring decryption or encryption of the individual search index file in its entirety; and a query interface to execute the operation against the customer information stored in the memory in its decrypted form. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract:
An encrypted search index is disclosed. For instance, an exemplary system may include a search index stored on disk with customer information stored therein, the search index files having a term dictionary or a term index type file having internal structure which allows a portion of the individual search index file to be updated, encrypted, and/or decrypted without affecting the internal structure of the individual search index file; a file input/output (IO) layer to encrypt the customer information being written into the individual search index file and to decrypt the customer information being read from the individual search index file; and a query interface to execute the operation against the customer information stored in the memory in its decrypted form.
Abstract:
A search index stored within the system having a plurality of individual search index files having information stored therein. At least one of the individual search index files constitutes a term dictionary or a term index type file having internal structure that allows a portion of the individual search index file to be updated, encrypted, and/or decrypted without affecting the internal structure of the individual search index file. A file input/output (IO) layer encrypts the information being written into the individual search index file and to decrypt the information being read from the individual search index file. The file TO layer encrypts and decrypts only a portion of the individual search index file in reply to an operation without requiring decryption or encryption of the individual search index file in its entirety. A query interface executes the operation against the information stored in the memory in its decrypted form.
