1. A verifier device, comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the stored programmed instructions to:
generate a first commitment from received data and send the received data to a prover device for insertion into a table of a database;
receive a query result and an overall proof from the prover device in response to a received query forwarded to the prover device and associated with the database table; and
return the query result and an indication the query result was verified in response to the received query after verifying the query result based on a second commitment to the query result generated using the first commitment and the overall proof.
