What is Confidential Computing and how can I bend it to my will (easy and free)?

Wir freuen uns sehr, euch zu einem Themenabend zum Thema Confidential Computing einladen zu können!

Das Treffen wird online via Zoom stattfinden. Der Link wird für angemeldete Teilnehmer sichtbar.

Der Vortrag kann, ja nach Teilnehmerpräferenz auf Deutsch oder Englisch gehalten werden.

Confidential computing (CC) is a new and much-discussed security paradigm. It enables the always encrypted and verifiable processing of data on potentially untrusted computer systems - could be your own computer or a machine in the cloud.

While CC can address many security and privacy problems and enables exciting new data-driven business models, only few people know how to use it and even fewer have applied it in practice.

This talk gives a hands-on introduction to CC. It discusses which new tools CC gives to engineers and architects and how they can be used to build truly end-to-end encrypted and verifiable cloud-native apps. We’ll walk through the steps of building/porting “confidential microservices” in Go and meshing them securely on Kubernetes in Microsoft Azure, using open source tooling from Edgeless Systems.
