Abstract
In big data era, data are usually stored in databases for easy access and utilization, which are now woven into every aspect of our lives. However, traditional relational databases cannot address users' demands for quick data access and calculating, since they cannot process data in a distributed way. To tackle this problem, non-relational databases such as MongoDB have emerged up and been applied in various Scenarios. Nevertheless, it should be noted that most MongoDB products fail to consider user's data privacy. In this paper, we propose a practical encrypted MongoDB (i.e., CryptMDB). Specifically, we utilize an additive homomorphic asymmetric cryptosystem to encrypt user's data and achieve strong privacy protection. Security analysis indicates that the CryptMDB can achieve confidentiality of user's data and prevent adversaries from illegally gaining access to the database. Furthermore, extensive experiments demonstrate that the CryptMDB achieves better efficiency than existing relational database in terms of data access and calculating.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
