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.

    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.
