Confidential Computing Consortium

aid: confidential-computing-consortium
name: Confidential Computing Consortium
description: The Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC) is a Linux Foundation project that brings together hardware vendors,
  cloud providers, and software developers to accelerate the adoption of confidential computing. CCC defines, advances, and
  standardizes hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) that protect data and code while in use, complementing
  existing protections for data at rest and in transit. The consortium governs open source projects and specifications spanning
  attestation, trustworthy workload identity, and TEE runtimes.

  name: Confidential Computing Consortium Projects
  description: A portfolio of open source projects governed by the Confidential Computing Consortium covering Trusted Execution
    Environment runtimes, remote attestation services, trustworthy workload identity, and shared tooling for confidential
    computing across CPU, GPU, and accelerator vendors. Projects include hosted SDKs, attestation services, and reference
    implementations rather than a single REST API.

  name: Trustworthy Workload Identity (TWI) Specifications
  description: A working group and set of Internet Draft specifications under the Confidential Computing Consortium that define
    how confidential workloads establish, prove, and consume identity using remote attestation evidence. TWI work intersects
    with the IETF RATS (Remote Attestation Procedures) and WIMSE (Workload Identity in a Multi-System Environment) groups,
    providing the foundation for attested, portable workload identity.
