Demystifying remote attestation by Andras Slemmer & Gaëtan Wattiau | OC3 2023

OC3 is the world’s premier event for confidential computing, where cloud security experts come together to showcase the latest developments and use cases.

The attestation process is at the core of the security guarantees provided by confidential computing, but each technology provides different security and usability tradeoffs.

In this talk Andras Slemmer and Gaëtan Wattiau give an overview of how each confidential computing vendor implemented their respective technologies and attestation primitives, and how the main cloud providers expose them. In the final part, they explain how the Decentriq platform abstracts over these and the technical and security challenges they have encountered.
