Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs)

Privacy-Enhancing Technologies are the behind-the-scenes champions that keep your data useful yet unexposed. From adding protective “noise” to your datasets to running computations in sealed hardware enclaves, PETs ensure confidentiality without sacrificing innovation. Ready for the privacy revolution? It’s already knocking at your server door.

Side-Channel Attack

Side-channel attacks don’t crack your code—they eavesdrop on your hardware’s whispers: timing jitters, power pulses, and electromagnetic murmur. These hidden clues let attackers reconstruct secrets without touching your algorithm. Fortify your stack with constant-time routines, masking tricks, and hardware shields to turn your vault into an echo-proof fortress.

Memory Integrity

Memory Integrity turns your PC’s kernel into a fortress, using hypervisor tech to admit only verified code. A quick toggle in Windows Security and a reboot is all it takes to activate this robust shield. Once on, you’ll sleep easier knowing even the craftiest rootkits can’t breach your system’s core.

Memory Encryption

Memory encryption is your last line of defense, turning every byte in RAM into unreadable ciphertext the moment it’s written. With modern CPUs doing heavy lifting in hardware, you get near-ironclad security without crippling speed. Enabling it is often as simple as a BIOS toggle—so why wait?

Attestation

Attestation is the backstage hero silently guaranteeing everything from your loan papers to your cloud servers. Whether it’s a notary’s seal, an auditor’s stamp, or a chip’s cryptographic handshake, attestation makes trust possible. Dive in and discover the secrets that keep our world honest.

Data in Use: The Invisible Battlefield Hiding in Your RAM

Data in use is the brief moment your information is most vulnerable—once it’s in RAM, traditional encryption drops away. Advanced defenses like TEEs and homomorphic encryption are rewriting the rules, letting you keep secrets locked even during processing. Embrace these techniques now to turn your memory from a soft target into an armored vault.

Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)

Behind every secure transaction and confidential computation, there’s a TEE working silently—guarding secrets in an invisible vault no hacker can breach.

Confidential Computing

Confidential computing transforms the weak link of “data in use” into a sealed, auditable vault. By leveraging hardware-trusted enclaves and remote verification, it ensures your secrets stay secret—even on public clouds. Whether you’re crunching sensitive health records or training cutting-edge AI, confidential computing is the game-changer that keeps your data under lock and key

Attack Surface

Firecracker’s radical minimalism proves that the best security feature is often the one you don’t build. By ruthlessly eliminating unnecessary complexity, Amazon created a virtualization platform that’s both lightning-fast and inherently more secure than systems with 40 times more code.

Sandbox

A sandbox is a vital security mechanism that creates a controlled, isolated space for running experimental or untrusted code, ensuring it cannot harm the host system. MicroVMs have emerged as the ideal technology for this, offering the robust, hardware-level isolation of traditional virtual machines but with the speed and minimal resource footprint of containers. This powerful combination makes MicroVM sandboxes the new standard for secure, ephemeral code execution.
