Confidential computation
Confidential computation refers to the practice of processing sensitive data in an environment that is secure and trusted, where the confidentiality of the data is preserved even for the owner of the infrastructure.
Confidential computing aims to provide an assurance of privacy, security, and integrity to the users of the computing system, even if the infrastructure is compromised by hackers or malware.
We will discuss the concept of confidential computing and the benefits of confidential computation next.
What is confidential computing?
Confidential computing provides a secure and trusted space in which data is processed in an isolated and protected environment known as an enclave. Enclaves are secure regions of memory that are protected from other processes and the operating system. Secure enclaves can be useful for privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML) applications, where sensitive data is used to train ML models. In PPML, it is critical...
