Confidential computing protects data while it’s being processed, not only at rest or in transit. The area experienced rapid progress in recent years, in confidential AI, multi-party analytics and as an areas of strong interest in regulated industries. The challenges remain, however, including complexity (e.g., in attestation), performance trade-off, insufficient direct hardware support, relatively slow practical adoption and emerging quantum readiness concerns. With today’s focus and significant resource allocation to AI, confidential computing is likely to benefit from improvements the paradigm can offer to AI security, such as protection of input data and models, remote attestation, better supply chain security and more.
On Thursday, 5 March, our distinguished panel discussed the current state of confidential computing, its successes and challenges and its short term future.
