Confidential Computing is continuing to remain a popular topic in computing industry. From memory encryption to trusted I/O, hardware has been constantly improving and broadening. In the past years, confidential computing microconferences have brought together developers working on various features in hypervisors, firmware, Linux kernel, low level userspace up to container runtimes. We have discussed a broad range of topics, ranging from, hardware enablement to generic attestation workflows.
Just in the last year, we have seen support for Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP guests merged into Linux. Support for unaccepted memory has also landed in mainline. We have also had support for running as a CVM under Hyper-V partially merged into the kernel. However, there is still a long way to go before a complete Confidential Computing stack with open source software and Linux as the hypervisor becomes a reality. We invite contributions to this microconference to help make progress to that goal.
Topics of interest include
- Attestation workflows
- Confidential Computing threat model
- Secure VM Service module (SVSM) and paravisor architecture and implementation
- Live migration of confidential virtual machines
- ARM64 Confidential Computing
- RISC-V CoVE
- Secure IO and device attestation
- Intel TDX Connect
- AMD SEV-TIO
