What if your sensitive data could stay encrypted even while being processed?
❌ Myth: Once your data is being processed, it’s no longer protected.
✅ Reality: With Confidential Computing, your data stays protected even while it’s being used.
Confidential Computing is a next-generation security solution that’s being developed, and SMARTY project leverages Confidential Computing powered by SCONE to:
- Shield data/code in use via hardware-secured enclaves (Trusted Execution Environment – TEEs).
- Guaranteeing integrity through hardware attestation—proving nothing was tampered with.
- Support major platforms (It’s powered by special hardware called a TEE like Intel SGX, and soon, Intel TDX and AMD SEV)

Traditional security protects data at rest and in transit. Confidential Computing adds the missing piece:
- No more exposed secrets, even admins can’t access your data during processing.
- Perfect for healthcare, finance, and AI: anywhere privacy is non-negotiable.
SCONE is already available, and development is ongoing to support more platforms and make it even easier to adopt across our project use cases. SCONE can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises, giving flexibility while maintaining maximum trust.
