Confidential computing is needed to protect sensitive data not only when it is stored or transmitted, but also while it is actively being processed in memory - traditionally the most vulnerable phase. In this article, I demonstrate how to implement a secure runtime environment using AWS Nitro Enclaves for applications on EC2 instances running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6+ (RHEL).To fully understand the concepts, use cases, and justifications for confidential computing, read our previous articles. The hardware used to provide secure communication and certification is based on AWS Nitro architec
