Introduction to confidential computing
summary
Defines confidential computing as CPU-made enclaves with strong isolation, runtime encryption and remote attestation and cites SGX (2015) as the origin. Contrasts SGX enclaves with confidential VMs (AMD SEV, Intel TDX, ARM CCA) for full-OS compatibility, and notes Nvidia confidential accelerators for AI. Describes concrete progress: Constellation becomes open source (Sept, end-to-end encrypted Kubernetes, level‑three), availability of enclaves/VMs across Azure, Google, Oracle and IBM, and remaining gaps in coherent attestation and service-to-user trust.
