Doing the Safety Dance: Will Trusted Execution Environments Protect Us?
summary
Confidential computing uses hardware Trusted Execution Environments to protect data in use and entire application memory, not just keys, and the industry is driving standards through the Confidential Computing Consortium and an attestation working group. Cloud providers offer TEEs in managed services today but vendors must solve attestation interoperability, usability, performance and scale; open-source projects like NRT and CNCF efforts add auditability. It strengthens but does not solve supply-chain risks or human error; zero access/explicit trust is the target.
