Confidential Computing as a Business Enabler in the Public Sector
How System Integrators and MSPs Deliver Operator Exclusion and Data Sovereignty – and Unlock New Market Opportunities
The digitalisation of public administration opens up significant business opportunities for system integrators and managed service providers – provided they can meet the sector's rigorous security requirements. Conventional security approaches leave data unprotected during processing and can only guarantee the required operator exclusion through contractual agreements, not technical enforcement.
Confidential Computing closes this gap by encrypting data At Rest, In Transit, and, crucially, In Use. By utilising hardware-based, isolated Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), this technology ensures that neither infrastructure providers nor administrators can access data while it is being processed.
The "Register-as-a-Service" (RaaS) project by GovTech Deutschland and FITKO serves as the practical reference case. The solution from the winning consortium, which included enclaive, was recognised as particularly robust and now serves as an open reference implementation to drive nationwide registry modernisation.
Through this case study, SIs and MSPs will learn what a Confidential Computing architecture looks like in practice, which components are used, and the technical and economic advantages it offers.
Only the registry authority can access and decrypt the data through its own cryptographic keys, ensuring trustworthy data processing even in externally operated environments.
