Securing Applications with Gramine

This episode continues our confidential computing conversation from our previous episode. Mona Vij, principal engineer at Intel Labs, leads Intel's efforts on the Gramine project, which is a library OS that allows for running unmodified applications and, among other things, solves the problem of running applications out-of-the-box on Intel SGX-enabled hardware. We'll dive into Gramine, a Confidential Computing Consortium Project and discuss easing the path to running in a trusted execution environment.
