Confidential Computing

Confidential computing protects data in use by performing computation within hardware-isolated Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) that encrypt memory contents and are inaccessible to the cloud provider, hypervisor, or other tenants. It addresses the gap in cloud security where data must be decrypted before processing.

Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, and ARM Confidential Compute Architecture are the primary hardware technologies enabling confidential computing.
