Confidential Computing is a secure computing environment that allows users to protect their data and workloads from unauthorized access. The presentation discusses the different models of attestation and how they are implemented in real-world scenarios using Microsoft Azure and the Confidential Containers project. The attestation report is a key component of remote attestation, which is made possible by the unique key inside the AMD secure processor that signs the report. Confidential Computing is an answer to the security concerns of industries that deal with personal and financial data.
