Confidential Computing Is Not Sovereign Computing

▤ Summary

This article argues that confidential computing protects data in use, but it does not create true sovereignty or independent verifiability. It explains that enclave-based security still depends on vendor-controlled hardware, attestation services, and legal jurisdictions. The piece contrasts secrecy with auditability and says regulated AI systems need offline-verifiable records, not just encrypted execution. It also positions the author's own sovereign computing stack as an alternative built around owned substrate, controlled keys, and signed audit records.
