👉 Confidential computing is a technology that enables secure processing of data while it remains encrypted, ensuring that sensitive information is never exposed to unauthorized parties, even during computation. It leverages hardware-based security features like trusted execution environments (TEEs), such as Intel SGX or AMD SEV, to create isolated, secure regions where data and computations occur. This means that even if an attacker gains access to the physical environment or the operating system, they cannot read the data stored within these secure enclaves. Confidential computing is crucial for protecting privacy in cloud computing, IoT devices, and other scenarios where data confidentiality is paramount, allowing organizations to process sensitive information securely without compromising its integrity or privacy.
