It's All About Trust: Why Confidential Computing Matters
summary
Confidential computing isolates computation in hardware TEEs so data in use stays encrypted and code integrity is verifiable, with silicon like Intel SGX, AMD SEV‑SNP, Arm CCA and GPU support from NVIDIA; attestation produces cryptographic evidence that a build or signing step ran in a protected environment and can be attached to package signatures so users verify the build provenance. This reduces the software TCB, helps protect signing keys during CI/CD, and surfaces hard problems: transitive trust, hardware root‑of‑trust and limited observability. attestation certificates Confidential Computing Consortium
