The document proposes a novel architecture that allows distributed, concurrent and independent access to encrypted cloud databases. This is the first solution that supports geographically distributed clients connecting directly to an encrypted cloud database to perform concurrent and independent operations, including modifications to the database structure. The architecture eliminates intermediate proxies, providing the same availability, elasticity and scalability as the original cloud database service since it does not require any intermediate servers. It guarantees data confidentiality by enabling cloud databases to execute concurrent SQL operations over encrypted data.
