The presentation discusses the challenges and considerations in implementing trusted computing in a Kubernetes environment.
  • Trusted computing is not a silver bullet and requires careful consideration of the attack surface and minimizing it
  • Enclaves have shortcomings and are susceptible to side channel attacks
  • Compliance with government standards such as NIST can be achieved with enclaves
  • Hardware components are susceptible to tampering and must be carefully evaluated
  • Kubernetes can use trusted computing at the container level, but the control plane should be constrained to minimize attack surface
