From Pixels To Agents: Optimizing On-Device Performance of Confidential Computing in AI Evolution - Savas Ozkan, Samsung Research UK, Samsung Electronics
Tuesday June 23, 2026 3:00pm - 3:25pm PDT

Unlike server-side confidential AI, on-device confidential AI must balance strong protection of sensitive personal data with efficient operation under limited computational resources. In this talk, we explore the impacts of CC on on-device AI performance for various AI models and tools by identifying some root-causes. First, we recognise that CC overheads vary across AI models during critical...

NVIDIA's attestation infrastructure was born from Confidential Computing - securing Hopper GPUs with hardware-rooted, in-band attestation. As AI hardware evolves to rack-scale systems like Vera Rubin NVL72, attestation must evolve with it: new devices, new modes, and new challenges. This talk covers three dimensions of that evolution.

Trust Is the Next Bottleneck: Why the Agentic Economy Needs Confidential Computing - Pawan Khandavilli, Microsoft
Tuesday June 23, 2026 3:00pm - 3:25pm PDT
Gold Ballroom
Agents can authenticate, but they still cannot prove what actually ran. When an agent transfers value, calls a sensitive tool, or acts on delegated authority across a boundary, the relying party has no cryptographic way to verify what code executed, what policy governed it, or whether sensitive data stayed inside a trustworthy boundary. OAuth handles authorization, not runtime integrity. IAM...

Kubernetes shares host kernels, network stacks, storage paths, and control planes across tenants. These shared primitives become attack surfaces when tenants cannot trust each other or the infrastructure operator. We enumerate the threat surfaces in confidential Kubernetes deployments, from eBPF snooping and conntrack hijacking to hardware-assisted virtualization rootkits. We then present a...
