Guest Blog: TalkingTrust. What’s driving the security of IoT?

Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing

Additionally, many auto manufacturers now have the ability to remotely update software to fix vulnerabilities or even upgrade functionality. For instance, running heavy software-based agents just isn’t an option in an embedded pacemaker or insulin pump device. The same rings true for encryption and authentication.

Is Confidential Computing Ready for Prime Time?

Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing

Currently, there are two technologies that attempt to address this use-case – homomorphic encryption and secure enclaves. While homomorphic encryption has great promise, the practical implementations are limited to very niche solutions that can tolerate additional compute-intensive overhead. Compared to data at rest (e.g. The Pitfalls.
