Introducing the Messaging Guide for Confidential Computing

By January 15, 2025January 22nd, 2025No Comments2 min read

Adopting on-demand computing for sensitive and private workloads is critical in today’s interconnected and data-driven world. We need simple, fast, and reliable security mechanisms to protect data, code, and runtimes to achieve this. The Confidential Computing Consortium’s new Messaging Guide is a comprehensive resource that explores how Confidential Computing (CC) addresses these challenges and supports organizations in securing their workloads.

Confidential Computing capabilities protect against unauthorized access and data leaks, enabling organizations to collaborate securely and comply with regulatory requirements. By encrypting data at rest, in transit, and during processing, CC technology allows sensitive workloads to move to the clud without requiring full trust in cloud providers, including administrators and hypervisors.

This white paper outlines the motivations, use cases, and solutions made possible by Confidential Computing, empowering organizations to:

 

Who Should Read This Guide?

This document is tailored to meet the needs of a diverse audience, including:

  • Organization leaders to explore use cases and services that can be enabled by Confidential Computing.
  • Organization leaders considering whether to use Confidential Computing for securing a new or existing
  • product(s), projects, services, and capabilities
  • Regulators, standards bodies and ecosystem members in Data Privacy and related fields.
  • General public/Mainstream Media/Publication to raise general awareness of Confidential Computing and its benefits

Why This Matters

As the demand for secure data processing grows, Confidential Computing provides a critical solution to meet the challenges of modern cloud environments. Whether enabling secure AI applications, fostering inter-organizational data collaboration, or addressing compliance needs, CC empowers organizations to innovate without compromising security.

We invite you to explore the Messaging Guide and discover how Confidential Computing can transform your approach to secure computing. Together, we can build a future where privacy and security are foundational to all digital workloads.
