It's crazy that nobody said it directly - all multi-million sold related TDX, ADX, NVIDIA machines all over the world suddenly were rendered USELESS confidentiality-wise by TEE.fail paper. And I'm not exaggerating - sealing with RFID or something on the factory + re-sending to factory for maintenance is the only thing that's going to help - and this means new hardware design.
Basically attestation is no longer sufficient by itself to prove a cloud provider is honest. Me being average confidentiality seeking user - from now on I cannot believe anybody who states they use TEE - I rather go and use major providers as their regulated with my name on the contract.
And talking about confidential distributed cloud revolution that we were all hoping to see - average Joe wouldn't agree to buy a forever sealed box where he won't even be able to change the damn thermopaste or whatever without sending the unit back to officials for CPU-baked secret RESET. Interesting how NEAR AI's crypto token NEAR only lost 50% in value since paper was published - it should have been 0 by now if more folks understood what actually has happened.
The revolution is DEAD, isn't it?
