Overview of Confidential Computing
Confidential Computing (CC) drastically reduces the attack surface of systems, says Mark Russinovich.
“While traditional systems encrypt data at rest and in transit, CC extends this protection to data in use. It provides a novel, clearly defined security boundary, isolating sensitive data within trusted execution environments during computation,” Russinovich says in this article in ACM Queue.
Other articles in the issue provide details on hardware isolation and creating the first confidential GPUs.
See this issue of ACM Queue for more information.
