Methods for verifying database query results and devices thereof

A system, comprising one or more verifiers, gateways, intermediaries, or clients comprising memory comprising instructions stored thereon and one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:

• execute a query against obtained data to generate a result, wherein the query is associated with a portion of a database and the obtained data comprises at least another portion of the portion of the database;
• generate a proof associated with a commitment, wherein the commitment comprises a value generated from other data previously ingested into the portion of the database and the commitment value is stored external to the database;
• and
• provide the proof and the result in response to the query, wherein the commitment value enables verification of the result against the proof.

A method, comprising:

• executing a query against obtained data to generate a query result, wherein the query is associated with at least a portion of a database and the obtained data comprises at least part of the at least a portion of the database;
• generating a proof, wherein the query, the query result, and the proof are associated with a commitment to the at least a portion of the database, the commitment comprises a value generated from other data previously ingested into the at least a portion of the database, and the commitment value is stored external to the database;
• and
• providing the proof and the query result in response to the query, wherein the commitment value enables verification of the query result against the proof.
