ZeroDB is an end-to-end encrypted database built on ZODB, allowing data to be stored and queried on untrusted servers without exposing encryption keys. Clients can run remote queries against encrypted data without downloading everything or suffering excessive performance loss.
Use cases
- store encrypted data on an untrusted server
- query a database without the server seeing plaintext
- keep encryption keys client-side while outsourcing storage
- search encrypted records remotely
- build privacy-preserving cloud storage apps
When to choose
- you need client-side encryption with queryable encrypted data on untrusted infrastructure
- you want a Python/ZODB-based encrypted database
- you're researching searchable encryption techniques
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with security updates
- you need production-grade encrypted database support
- you need a database other than Python/ZODB ecosystems
