'''ABSTRACT:'''
+
|}
The talk will give an introduction to the Norwegian Certification Authority for IT Security (SERTIT), how evaluation and certification of IT security are done, and how authorities, certification bodies, evaluation labs and industry work together through the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) to develop security requirements, evaluate security functionality and provide recognition of security certificates across national borders. The talk will be relevant for procurers requiring secure products, vendors who needs a competitive advantage by getting security functionality certified and developers who want to know how to get assurance that adequate security requirements are met.

  • ABSTRACT:
    Protecting data in-use has long been a challenging open problem in computer science. While being computed on in cleartext in system memory, your data stored in RAM is exposed to the millions lines of code that make up the underlying platform’s privileged system software. By design, a malicious firmware, or compromised operating system can easily leak your data, or compromise its integrity.

    Confidential computing is a privacy-enhancing system security primitive which addresses this challenge head-on, by running your security-sensitive processes in isolated execution environments whose security guarantees can be remotely attested. Its recent generations, such as Intel SGX, Intel TDX and AMD SEV SNP, make use of newer CPU hardware and architectural extensions, such as the AES-128 hardware encryption engine which encrypts RAM memory pages in real-time. Hardware with these capabilities is already available in the market, and public cloud providers have been one of its early adopters.

    In this presentation, we first visit the history of confidential computing, then study the technical system primitives which allow us to implement both isolation and attestation. We also explore the different silicon implementations of confidential computing, where they are deployed today, and for which uses cases.
