　　报告摘要：

　　Confidential computing leverages emerging security components of modern processors, such as Intel SGX and AMD SEV, to execute applications securely on untrusted software stacks. A variety of privacy-sensitive applications (e.g., confidential cloud computing and privacy-preserving blockchains) are made possible by confidential computing. However, prior studies have suggested that confidential computing is vulnerable to various side-channel attacks. This talk summarizes our recent studies on side channels in this context and highlights some solutions that we have proposed to offer side-channel resilience to applications with demands of confidentiality.
