AMD SEV isolates virtual machines by encrypting memory with up to 509 unique keys managed by a dedicated on-die security processor.

AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) hardware-encrypts virtual machine memory using the AES-128 engine integrated into EPYC processor memory controllers. The dedicated AMD Secure Processor (ASP) handles key management: this shields guest data from compromised hypervisors or malicious admins. Advanced iterations like SEV-SNP (Secure Nested Paging) introduce strong memory integrity protections to block remapping attacks. This technology powers confidential computing instances across major providers like Azure and Google Cloud, ensuring data remains encrypted even during active processing.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Encrypted Inferences: A 5‑Minute FHE with FHE‑Studio and FHE Model Marketplace](https://toronto.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_tT7xsSECN2Y)

I’ll present https://fhe-studio.com/, an open-source development environment designed to make encrypted data structures, algorithms, and AI workflows practical for real-world use. We will go through coding in cipher patterns I published at: https://towardsdatascience.com/coding-in-cipher-encrypted-data-structures-and-algorithms-dd99e584a655/ The session will include a live demonstration of building and running computations directly on encrypted data, followed by an overview of an AI Marketplace https://aimarketplace.01com.com/ that enables publishing FHE-based models and running encrypted inference without exposing plaintext data to model owners, infrastructure providers, or operators

### [Stateful AI Without Vendor Lock-In](https://amsterdam.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_S03vGD_udWI)

This talk presents the architecture and live technical demonstration of Intangle, a stateful AI system built around a self-learning memory layer called the Coherence Engine. I will walk through how we securely persist, scope, and retrieve long-term conversational memory while orchestrating an agentic mesh across multiple MCP-compatible model providers. The session will focus on concrete implementation details: encrypted memory graphs, agent governance, execution inside Trusted Execution Environments, and cross-vendor context portability. All examples will be within our production environment and demonstrated live, without slides.

### [Beyond Public Data: Unlocking AI's Next Frontier with Secure Private Data](https://waterloo.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_cXgF867zQU8)

This session will provide a technical deep dive into building secure data access infrastructure that enables AI systems to train on private data without compromising privacy or security. We'll walk through the complete architecture of a decentralized data access system that uses Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), encryption, and blockchain technology to create a trustless environment for data access. You'll leave with practical knowledge of the technical challenges in private data aggregation and working code examples you can adapt for your own projects.
