Queryable Encryption with Equality Query Type Support is a new technology announced by MongoDB that allows developers to query encrypted sensitive data in a simple and intuitive way, while preserving the ability to run equality queries on that encrypted data. This technology offers several key benefits, including the ability to meet strict data privacy requirements, faster application development cycle, reduced operational risk as sensitive workloads are protected on the cloud, strong technical controls for critical data privacy use cases, and uses NIST standards-based primitives to ensure confidentiality and integrity of data.
