What is Confidential Computing?

Confidential computation is a technology that enables data to be processed while still encrypted,  ensuring confidentiality (the data remains secret) and integrity (verification that the code executed matches the pre-disclosed version).

In Japan, confidential computation is recognized as a key technology for the Government Cloud. Internationally, it has been adopted by companies such as Apple and Google, as well as by the U.S. Navy and Army, among others.
