Client-side encryption and processing of telemetry data

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device to perform the following steps:

• providing, by a telemetry server, a query request to one or more telemetry clients, wherein the provided query request comprises a query and one or more encrypted payloads over which the query operates;
• obtaining a query result from one or more of the telemetry clients, wherein at least one telemetry client (a) decrypts the one or more encrypted payloads using at least one decryption key, (b) processes the query request using the one or more decrypted payloads, and (c) provides the query result to the telemetry server;
• and
• aggregating the query results obtained from the one or more telemetry clients.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
• the at least one processing device being configured to implement the following steps:
• providing, by a telemetry server, a query request to one or more telemetry clients, wherein the provided query request comprises a query and one or more encrypted payloads over which the query operates;
• obtaining a query result from one or more of the telemetry clients, wherein at least one telemetry client (a) decrypts the one or more encrypted payloads using at least one decryption key, (b) processes the query request using the one or more decrypted payloads, and (c) provides the query result to the telemetry server;
• and
• aggregating the query results obtained from the one or more telemetry clients.
