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. Any data in the TEE can't be read or tampered with by any code outside that environment. The CCC defines confidential computing as: The protection of data in use by performing computations in a hardware-based Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).Ī TEE is an environment that enforces execution of only authorized code. Confidential computing is an industry term defined by the Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC) - a foundation dedicated to defining and accelerating the adoption of confidential computing.
