• In today’s data-driven world, many helpful insights may utilize sensitive data categories, for example: whether it’s processing personally identifiable information (PII) for personalized services, collaborating on confidential datasets with partners, or analyzing sensitive financial information. • The need to protect data not just at rest or in transit, but also during processing, has become a critical business requirement. • While encryption for data at-rest (on disk) and in-transit (over the network) are well understood problems, the “data-in-use” challenge is usually overlooked. • This is where Confidential Computing comes in, providing hardware-level protection for data even while it’s being processed. • This post demonstrates how, with Google Cloud’s Confidential Space, organizations can build an end-to-end confidential service. • We will show how an end user of this confidential service can gain cryptographic assurance that their sensitive data is only ever processed by verified code running inside a secure, hardware-isolated environment-including scenarios where the developer has deployed this service using a scalable, load-balanced architecture.
