Hardware-based solutions for trusted cloud computing

The increasing number of threats targeting cloud computing and the exploitation specifically privileged software vulnerabilities have pushed security managers service providers to deploy hardware-based solutions. These solutions can offer better hardware-assisted features for a broad range platforms including both CISC RISC architecture families in datacenters. Their goal is reduce attack surface by rooting trust into hardware instead some high-privileged pieces system such as operating or hypervisor which been demonstrated that they include severe vulnerabilities, thus limiting adoption model security-skeptical users. In this paper, we give users customers, application developers comprehensive overview four major industrial-scale commercial brought vendors market. We present, analyze compare Intel TXT, ARM TrustZone, AMD SEV, SGX technologies with respect more than twenty criteria fitting within three categories: security, functional deployment. discuss each these show cases where particularly excel. Our comparison help IT take right decision about industrial technology adopt their particular requirements future migrations.
