Google, Intel, etc… Establishment of an in-process data protection organization

On August 21 (local time), the Linux Foundation announced the establishment of a community CCC (Confidential Computing Consortium) aimed at promoting computing for the purpose of data protection with 10 companies including Google, Intel, and Microsoft.

In general, in order to protect data in cloud computing, it supports storage media to store and encryption of transmitted data. Focusing on data protection in process now. Encrypted data is processed in memory and not distributed to other parts of the system, reducing exposure of sensitive data and improving user control and transparency. For this, not only hardware, but also various connections such as operating system and various programs are required. CCC was established with the aim of the industry to work together to achieve this.

CCC is another open source community and an open SDK, for building applications that can be trusted by protecting the initial project to the hardware Enclave SDK (Open Enclave SDK) github released to. Until now, CPU technology supports Intel SGX and ARM’s TrustZone, and Linux (x86-64, Aarch-64) and Windows (x86-64) operating systems are supported. Related information can be found here .
