Intel Let Google Cloud Hack Its New Secure Chips and Found 10 Bugs

Wired  

Google Cloud and Intel released results today from a nine-month audit of Intel's new hardware security product: Trust Domain Extensions. Security researchers from Google Cloud Security and Google's Project Zero bug-hunting team collaborated with Intel engineers on the assessment, which initially turned up 81 potential security issues that the group investigated more deeply. The project is part of Google Cloud's Confidential Computing initiative, a set of technical capabilities to keep customers' data encrypted at all times and ensure that they have full access controls. But collaborations like the one between Google Cloud and Intel have the advantage of allowing outside researchers to conduct black box testing and then collaborate with engineers who have deep knowledge about how a product is designed to potentially uncover even more about how a product could be better secured.
