Confidential Computing Consortium

The Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC) is a community-focused on projects securing data in use and accelerating the adoption of confidential computing. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in the United States, CCC brings together hardware vendors, cloud providers, and software developers to accelerate the adoption of Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technologies and standards. It operates as a project community at the Linux Foundation, dedicated to defining and accelerating the adoption of confidential computing. The consortium embodies open governance and open collaboration, with commitments from numerous member organizations and contributions from several open-source projects. Confidential Computing protects data in use by performing computation in a hardware-based Trusted Execution Environment, thereby preventing unauthorized access or modification of applications and data while in use. This innovative approach increases the security assurances for organizations that manage sensitive and regulated data, making CCC a valuable player in the hardware industry. As CCC aims to advance the adoption of confidential computing, it represents a promising initiative with the potential to make a significant impact on data security in the digital landscape.
