Hi all,

The draft "draft-yang-teep-ccican-00.txt" is an informational draft about how to use confidential computing in the future Computing-aware Networking (CAN). 
The main idea of this draft involves TEEP and RATs architectures. First, TEEP architecture provisions necessary TEEP agent and middleware in the confidential computing environment. Then, the middleware launches the remote attestation to the application user, which will determine if it will transmit private apps and data to the confidential computing environment.   

CAN, which is computing and network resource joint optimization based on the awareness, control and management over network and computing resources, to determine the appropriate service node，dispatch the service request and provide a better user experience. This concept of CAN is still developing, while a significant binding between CAN and confidential computing is that confidential computing could provide integrity and confidentiality to network users who don't trust the CAN computing resource. And within IETF, just uses RATs and TEEP architecture could totally describe confidential computing in network.

This draft could be used as a classic use case for RATs and TEEP, and could promote the development of both CAN and confidential computing. If anyone is interested in this draft, welcome to comments and make contributions.

Abstract:
   Confidential Computing is the protection of data in use by performing
   computation in a hardware-based Trusted Execution Environment.
   Especially in virtualization environments, confidential computing
   could protect data and applications from access or tampering by
   hypervisor or other privileged users.  In Computing-Aware network,
   computing resource is an essential element to provide computing
   services for network users' applications.  Introducing confidential
   computing in Computing-Aware network could mitigate the distrust of
   computing resource efficiently.  This document provides the
   architecture of confidential computing in Computing-Aware network
   management plane to provide confidentiality and integrity for
   applications.
