Encrypted Spaces: A Sync Engine Prototype for Verifiable, Encrypted Collaborative Applications
By
_____k
Summary
This research preview describes a sync engine prototype designed for untrusted infrastructure, using encrypted spaces to store data. The engine provides higher-level data structures (Tables, Lists, TextAreas) to applications while handling verifiable inserts, updates, and deletions of shared encrypted data. It aims to demonstrate the practicality of collaborative applications where data remains encrypted and operations are cryptographically verifiable.

· 3 pulledTo demonstrate the practicality of applications using encrypted spaces, we are prototyping a sync engine (like Firebase or Supabase) that stores data in an encrypted space.
The low-level space code handles verifiable inserts, updates, and deletions of shared encrypted data.
To clients, those structures appear like local data, but behind the scenes, the sync engine backs the structures with an encrypted space.
