Episode 31 — Encryption in Use: Confidential Computing and Memory Protections
Encryption isn’t only about data at rest or in transit—today’s cloud technologies also secure data while it is being processed. This episode explains the emerging field of confidential computing, where workloads run inside secure enclaves that shield memory from unauthorized access, even by the host system. You’ll learn how trusted execution environments, hardware-assisted protections, and specialized processors make it possible to minimize exposure of sensitive data during active use.
We also explore exam-relevant scenarios where encryption in use strengthens privacy, such as protecting financial transactions, healthcare records, or intellectual property in shared environments. This topic highlights the forward-looking nature of cloud security and prepares you to understand why encryption in use is becoming a key expectation in regulated industries.
