Imagine this: you need to share sensitive user data for a good cause (e.g. public-interest research, public health trends, fraud prevention) with someone you don't necessarily trust. How can you technically ensure data is protected while still allowing for precise insights? Research scientists at TikTok developed ManaTEE, an open source confidential computing framework that solves exactly that problem. Using privacy-preserving and trusted execution technologies (PETs & TEE), this solution allows non-trusting parties to collaborate in the public interest. Originally developed last year to address TikTok's internal needs, the project has since been donated to the The Linux Foundation's Confidential Computing Consortium so that it benefits from an open governance model, accelerating it's development and adoption. I am pumped to be supporting research scientists such as Dayeol Lee in the development of cutting-edge, privacy-centric, open-source technologies like ManaTEE. Take a look at a video of our participation at the (legendary) open source conference FOSDEM 2025 in Brussels intruducing the tool earlier this year: https://lnkd.in/dqTi-9ZK

👂 The CCC Mini-Summit at #OSSNA 2025 wants to hear from you! We're accepting proposals for 30-minute sessions covering real-world use cases, open source innovation, and more! 📢 CFP closes March 31, 2025—Submit now: https://hubs.la/Q03btY7n0

At #FOSDEM 2025, Dayeol Lee introduced #ManaTEE, an open source framework enabling secure, privacy-preserving data analytics. By leveraging Privacy-Enhancing Techniques (PETs) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), ManaTEE empowers researchers to analyze sensitive data with confidence. Now part of the Confidential Computing Consortium, ManaTEE is shaping the future of secure data collaboration. Learn more about the framework, its use cases, and how you can contribute: https://lnkd.in/emurv4zs By Dayeol Lee, Research Scientist at TikTok Privacy Innovation Lab, and Mateus Guzzo, Open Source Advocate #ConfidentialComputing #OpenSource #DataSecurity

Confidential Computing + containers: what would that look like? I've spent many hours over the years trying to explain this to many different people, so it's great to have an well-written article on the subject towards which I can now point people: https://lnkd.in/dEitgniS It's written by Dan Middleton, who's the chair of the Confidential Computing Consortium's Technical Advisory Committee, and who really knows the subject.

🔒 Does Confidential Computing work with containers? The short answer: Yes. But the real question is how it works and what level of security isolation fits your needs. In this blog, Dan Middleton breaks down different interpretations of "containers" and explores four key isolation patterns for protecting containerized applications with Confidential Computing. 📖 Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/eH9btE3w Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) #ConfidentialComputing #CloudSecurity #Containers #Kubernetes
