Notes

Abstract

As confidential computing continues to gain importance, AMD SEV-SNP has matured within the open-source community. This session will provide an overview, from the OVMF perspective, of how it integrates with QEMU and the Linux Kernel to encrypt memory and safeguard memory security in a virtualized environment. The session is open to UEFI developers as well as virtualization, kernel, and security developers. Attendees will gain insights into how AMD SEV-SNP in confidential computing protects systems in virtualized environments, the latest upstream development progress, and an analysis of the protections it offers. The session will also address whether these protections are adequate and if there is a need to adopt this technology.
