Confidential computing is the protection of data in use by performing computation in a hardware-based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Cloud native workloads are typically protected when in transit through networking encryption and at rest, confidential computing enables data protection in memory while data is being processed. The confidential computing threat model aims at removing or reducing the ability for a cloud provider/operator and other actors in the tenant’s domain to access code and data while being executed.
