Intel launches Project Amber to ensure the integrity of Trusted Execution Environments

Intel announced at the Intel Innovation 2023 event the general availability of an attestation service that is part of Trust Authority, a new portfolio of security software and services.

The attestation service as a first step towards Intel's Trust Authority

The new attestation service, called Project Amber, is the first service available within the Intel Trust Authority portfolio. It offers a unified and independent assessment of the integrity of the trusted execution environment (TEE) and policy enforcement, as well as providing audit records.

Verify the authenticity and integrity of the environment with the attestation service

This service allows organizations to independently verify the authenticity and integrity of an environment, ensuring that data and workloads within it have not been compromised. It also helps ensure compliance with privacy and data sovereignty regulations.

Support for Intel confidential computing and intelligent machine learning

The attestation service can be used with Intel confidential computing, both in on-premises, multi-cloud or hybrid environments, and in edge computing environments. Additionally, Intel Trust Authority will soon become a core capability to enable confidential AI, ensuring the security of computing environments where sensitive IP and data are processed in machine learning applications, particularly in the inference process on current and future Intel Xeon processors. futures.
