Intel's Xeon Scalable Processors (hereinafter, Xeon SP) is a main product of Intel, which has a large share in CPUs for data centers.It is adopted in data centers.
Needless to emphasize again, the important thing for such enterprises and CSPs is to provide safe and stable services for their IT or public cloud services.
It goes without saying that higher security is the top priority.Good news for system administrators who want to increase the security of data centers is that security solutions using hardware as well as software are gradually appearing.
Introducing not only security functions such as encryption software, but also security functions that trigger hardware as a trigger function to introduce your own IT services and public cloud services with higher security than software -only security.It will be possible, and it will be possible for CSP to provide hardware -based security to tenants.
Among such hardware -based security, the focus is on the TEE (Trusted Execution Environment).TEE creates a secure area that cannot be accessed by normal methods in the memory, and can prevent data leakage, etc. by storing important data there.Intel, a CPU for data centers, introduces the latest product, the 3rd generation Xeon Scalable Processors (hereafter, 3rd generation Xeon SP), introduced the TEE of the company's TEE, Intel SGX (Software Guard Extension).By using it, the security of the data center can be enhanced than before.
This time, I talked to Daisuke Kosahara, Senior Data Center, Inc. about the details of Intel SGX and the possibilities at the data center, so I would like to introduce the pattern in this paper.
