*Domain Solution · Supabase*

Searchable encryption is CipherStash's core primitive. You get range queries, exact match, and fuzzy free-text search over encrypted fields using your existing Supabase Postgres indexes, with under 1ms query overhead. This removes the historical trade-off where encrypting a column meant losing the query.
