Abstract: Confidential Computing (CC) has been getting more and more attention in recent years. The IT industry has figured out how to protect content in transit (TLS, IPSec) and content at rest (disk encryption), it is developing CC technology to protect content in use, i.e.; data and code in RAM. This talk will first give an overview of the CC technology, its usages in a cloud setting, and its providers, then it will use Intel TDX as an example to show some technical details, it ends with a discussion of CC's potential weakness and opportunities.
