WASM and Confidential Computing - Securing FaaS Functions

Explore a cutting-edge approach to securing serverless functions using WebAssembly (WASM) and confidential computing in this 30-minute conference talk by Intel experts Xinran Wang and Liang He. Delve into the world of zero-trust serverless platforms, combining CNCF's Knative, WebAssembly, and hardware-provided Trusted Execution Environments (TEE). Learn how to address security concerns in cloud-based function deployment by safely shipping code and data into TEEs, implementing remote attestation with an extended L7 protocol, and launching WASM runtime instances within TEEs upon user requests. Gain valuable insights into protecting sensitive applications and data in serverless environments while maintaining the benefits of cloud-based function deployment.
