BYOK was a lie because it was only protecting keys at rest. When the environment in use becomes accessible to so many actors, customers lose control of their keys and identities once they are accessible to that hostile environment. “Bring your own key — share it with everyone.”

Confidential Computing fundamentally changes this by providing protection for keys in use and enabling trusted and verifiable runtime environments.

Solutions such as Constellation solve the shortcomings of BYOK using Confidential Computing so you can finally “Bring your own key — keep it yours”.
