This datasheet introduces MongoDB Queryable Encryption, an in-use encryption technology that allows applications to query sensitive information while it remains encrypted. Traditional protection typically covers data in transit and at rest, but processing often requires decryption, creating potential exposure. Queryable Encryption enables client-side encryption and supports equality and range queries directly against encrypted database fields. Developed by the MongoDB Cryptography Research Group and peer-reviewed by cryptography experts, it supports expressive queries over non-deterministically encrypted data. Key benefits include stronger end-to-end data protection, enhanced regulatory compliance for requirements such as GDPR and HIPAA, separation of duties, and streamlined operations by
