Abstract
In the case of compromised databases or interested database managers, CryptDB has been
built for validated and realistic protection. CryptDB operates through encrypted data while
executing SQL queries. The key concept of the SQL-aware encryption technique is to map SQL
operations to encryption methods, adjustable query-driven encryption which facilitates CryptDB to
modify the encryption level of data depending on user queries and to alter the data through layered
encryption levels in an efficient manner. The systematic literature review in this paper shows that
there is ongoing research regarding the implementation of CryptDB in new applications such as
cloud computing and management information systems. Experiments are being conducted to
improve the encryption schemes and layers to avoid data leakage when CryptDB is applied in
dynamic applications. Further, there are studies on alternative query-processing systems to
improve the performance and throughput. However, CryptDB is found to be the only practical
approach to process the queries for encrypted data.
