Confidential Computing Working Group Charter 2024
Release Date: 09/10/2024
The working group is tasked with exploring and implementing Confidential Computing technologies to enhance data security across various industries. This group's scope encompasses developing and promoting standards and best practices for the deployment and management of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). These environments are pivotal for ensuring that sensitive data remains protected from tampering and disclosure, not only when stored or in transit but also while being processed. The group's responsibilities include identifying applications and sectors—such as healthcare, finance, government, SaaS, and ISV—where the privacy and security of data during processing are extremely important. The group will address challenges associated with deploying Confidential Computing in cloud-based environments, recognizing the unique threats posed by shared computing resources and potential internal threats (e.g., operators, insiders, root users, attackers). By focusing on safeguarding data in use, the working group aims to close a critical gap in data security, fostering greater trust in digital systems and paving the way for wider adoption of Confidential Computing as a core component of digital security infrastructures.
