Baidu Launches a Privacy-Enhanced Solution to Enable Security-Critical Services in the Public Cloud

Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) has announced the launch of MesaTEE, a memory safe function as a service (Faas) computing framework.

As quoted in the press release:

This solution enables security sensitive services like banking, autonomous driving and healthcare to more securely process their data on critical platforms, such as public cloud and blockchain.

“MesaTEE combines the power of the Baidu HMS model and Intel® SGX to provide a breakthrough solution to expand the trust boundary of the Internet,” said Tao Wei, chief security scientist at Baidu. “The Baidu HMS model has revolutionized memory safety for systems at the software architecture level. Intel® SGX, meanwhile, dramatically shortens the trust chain of computing and makes trusted dependencies more simplified, reliable, and secure. Together, MesaTEE provides the foundation for incubating next-generation blockchains, privacy-enhanced cloud computing, and other new Internet services.
