Скачать или смотреть Is Your Cloud Data Safe? The Secret Hardware Shielding It From Hackers

We all use the cloud, but is our sensitive data truly safe? We're told our data is encrypted when it's stored ('at rest') and when it's sent over the internet ('in transit'), but what happens when it's actually being processed? This is a huge vulnerability that hackers can exploit.

This video explores a fascinating paper on "Confidential Computing," a revolutionary security model that protects data while it's 'in use.' We'll break down the core technology, called Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), which act like secure vaults built directly into computer processors. Learn about the major players like Intel SGX and ARM TrustZone and see how they create an impenetrable barrier around your data.

Join us at Summarized Science as we look at the pros and cons of this groundbreaking technology. Discover the performance trade-offs, the unique security threats it faces, and what the future holds for cloud security. This technology is becoming essential for everything from AI to healthcare, and it's changing the way we think about data privacy.
