Comment on CipherCloud Responds to the Crypto StackExchange Controversyparent

Yeah, I've never looked at CipherCloud's security in depth, but you could do tokenization in a fairly secure way. There's essentially a triangle of security, functionality-of-SaaS-app, and complexity of the proxy.

One issue is access patterns might leak information, so if you wanted maximum security you'd end up doing crazy things like heavily caching or accessing extra "chaff records" periodically. Well before that point you'd probably just give up on the SaaS app entirely.
