# Agentic AI security steals the spotlight at Confidential Computing Summit

**[InfoWorld](https://daily.dev/sources/infoworld)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

At the Confidential Computing Summit in San Francisco, experts identified agentic AI security as the breakout use case for confidential computing. The core challenge mirrors the early web before HTTPS: agents lack a trust infrastructure for verifying identity and execution environments. Hardware-backed attestation — where a CPU hashes and signs a protected execution environment — is the proposed foundation, now available on AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA hardware via Azure and Google Cloud. Key gaps remain: binding agent identities to hardware, integrating attestation into the Model Context Protocol, establishing trust chains for agent-to-agent delegation, and cross-cloud trust. Efforts are underway to standardize composite attestation formats (Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA) toward an IETF RFC. Limitations include cache-level side-channel attacks (TDXRay), shared Kubernetes control planes, unresolved data residency questions, and the difficulty of patching hardware vulnerabilities. The Linux Foundation's DNS-AID project extends DNS concepts to agent identity, signaling that the trust fabric for agents may ultimately resemble today's internet PKI.
