👉 Exclusion computing is a paradigm in distributed systems where computation is deliberately restricted to certain parts of a system, often to enhance privacy, security, or efficiency. This approach involves isolating sensitive data or operations from the rest of the system, ensuring that only authorized processes can access or manipulate them. By excluding certain computations from being executed on the main processing units, exclusion computing can prevent unauthorized data access or misuse while still allowing necessary operations to proceed. This is particularly useful in scenarios like cloud computing, where data privacy regulations require strict control over sensitive information. Techniques such as secure enclaves, homomorphic encryption, and trusted execution environments enable exclusion computing by providing isolated spaces within the system where computations can occur without exposing underlying data to potential threats.
