arXiv:2610.12695v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Confidential Virtual Machines (CVMs), such as AMD SEV-SNP, and process enclaves, such as Intel SGX, provide workload protection against cloud threats. However, they strongly differ in TCB, deployment cost and speed, peer workload protection, resource sharing, fine-grained isolation and attestation, and programming capabilities. Nesting process enclaves within CVMs offers an optimal solution and an opportunity to address long-standing SGX limitatio
Editorial Analysis
European sovereign-cloud strategies increasingly demand confidential computing; layered TEE approaches could offer the defence-in-depth needed for high-assurance multi-tenant workloads.
Include nested TEE architectures (SGX inside CVM) in your confidential-computing evaluation for workloads subject to strict data-sovereignty requirements.
