White Paper
Securing the Missing Link
The Thales white paper on Confidential Computing explains how this technology secures the last gap in data protection by safeguarding data while in use. It uses hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to create isolated, encrypted zones within CPUs, preventing unauthorized access even from cloud providers or system administrators. The paper details major TEE technologies from Intel, AMD, ARM, and NVIDIA, and outlines how Thales’ CipherTrust Data Security Platform integrates with Intel Tiber Trust Authority to provide end-to-end encryption, attestation, and key management. Industry applications include secure AI, healthcare data sharing, and financial analytics, enabling privacy-first innovation across hybrid and cloud environments.
