What is Confidential Computing and how can I bend it to my will?

Confidential computing (CC) is a new and much-discussed security paradigm. It enables the always encrypted and verifiable processing of data on potentially untrusted computer systems - could be your own computer or a machine in the cloud. While CC can address many security and privacy problems and enables exciting new data-driven business models, only few people know how to use it and even fewer have applied it in practice. This talk gives a hands-on introduction to CC. It discusses which new tools CC gives to engineers and architects and how they can be used to build truly end-to-end encrypted and verifiable cloud-native apps. We’ll walk through the steps of building/porting “confidential microservices” in Go and meshing them securely on Kubernetes in Microsoft Azure, using open source tooling from Edgeless Systems.
