Protecting Sensitive Data through Confidential Computing
Confidential Computing is one of the solutions explored within SMARTY to enhance the protection of sensitive applications and data in next-generation cloud and network infrastructures.
This technology introduces advanced mechanisms to protect data during processing and use. Through Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), applications run in isolated and protected environments, ensuring information confidentiality and integrity even within shared infrastructures.
The SMARTY activity investigates the integration of Confidential Computing with network security mechanisms, combining identity-based protection and hardware-based technologies to create more trustworthy execution environments.
In particular, the project explores Confidential Virtual Machines and virtual enclaves to overcome traditional limitations, improving application isolation, resource efficiency and scalability in shared cloud environments.
These developments contribute to more secure and resilient infrastructures, supporting the adoption of advanced cybersecurity solutions for future 5G and 6G networks.
