The Rise of Confidential Computing, What It Is and What it Means to You
summary
Confidential computing asserts hardware TEEs protect data in use and shrink the trusted computing base to the immutable root of trust, with attestation proving code and data integrity. Real examples include Signal contact‑discovery via TEE attestation and Bosch de‑identify‑then‑train flow for autonomous video, plus hospital data clean rooms that combine encrypted inputs without exposing raw records. Technical measures discussed: CPU address‑translation, paging controls, RAM encryption, attestation, and emerging standards TDISP/SPDM (accelerators use bounce buffers today).
