A technical paper titled 'ACE: Confidential Computing for Embedded RISC-V Systems' was published by researchers at IBM Research and Max Planck Institute for Software Systems.
The paper introduces Assured Confidential Execution (ACE), an open-source and royalty-free confidential computing technology for embedded RISC-V systems.
ACE aims to build safer and more secure mission-critical embedded systems by leveraging confidential computing.
Evaluation of the ACE prototype on RISC-V hardware supporting virtualization shows its viability for target systems.
