Meta has developed a privacy-preserving AI feature called Private Processing, using Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), Remote Attestation with TLS (RA-TLS), and OHTTP to ensure data security and privacy.
Private Processing leverages TEE, such as Intel SGX or ARM TrustZone, for decryption inside a secure enclave, ensuring data remains protected even if the server or operating system is compromised.
RA-TLS allows user devices to verify enclave integrity before data transmission, while OHTTP secures the transport layer, making requests anonymous to the processor.
WhatsApp's approach involves processing data without storing it, enabling compliance, auditability, and user opt-in for enhanced privacy, with Meta committing to transparency and external audits.
