Talk from Pierre-Louis Aublin

Bio: 
Pierre-Louis is interested in the security and reliability, and sustainability of Internet systems. He leverages state-of-the-art technologies such as Trusted Execution Environments (e.g., Intel SGX), smartNICs, or safe programming languages (e.g., Rust) to develop innovative, secure, robust and sustainable Internet services. 

Abstract: 
There is an increasing need for security and privacy in Cloud Computing across various industries: finance, healthcare, etc. One promising technology to address this problem is Confidential Virtual Machines (CVMs), a set of CPU extensions available on recent Intel, AMD or ARM processors, that encrypts an entire virtual machine even in the presence of a malicious host OS or hypervisor. Unfortunately, CVMs are difficult to securely deploy due to their trust assumptions and incur a non-negligible performance overhead.
