Exploring OSS guest firmware for Confidential VMs

By Swamy, Pushkar and Amar

Elevator Pitch

Join us for a talk how to learn more on how we are exploring customer managed OSS guest firmware for Confidential VM’s on Azure to give control what the makes up the TCB.

Description

Confidential computing developers like flexibility and control over guest TCB because that allows managing what components make up the trusted code base. In a VM these requirements are tricky to meet. In this talk you will learn how in Azure we are enabling new capabilities to help you make a full VM as a Trusted Execution Environment and help your app perform remote attestation with another trusted party in a Linux VM environment with OSS guest firmware options.

Notes

Submitting on behalf of team: Ragavan Dasarathan, Pushkar Chitnis and Amar Gowda Tooling and Azure guest firmware implementation is all planned to be open sourced. Aligns with overall OC3’s vision.
