Abstract With more threats targeting cloud computing and the risk of software vulnerabilities, cloud service providers are looking for better ways to secure their systems. They are now using hardware-based solutions to improve security. These solutions add special security features directly into the hardware, which helps protect a wide range of computer systems, including different types of processors found in data centers. The goal is to make the systems safer by trusting the hardware itself instead of relying on software like operating systems or hypervisors with serious security problems. This makes cloud computing more appealing to people who are worried about security.

I explain four major hardware-based security solutions from top cloud providers in this paper. I look at and compare Intel TXT, ARM TrustZone, AMD SEV, and Intel SGX technologies based on over twenty different factors in three main areas: security, functionality, and ease of use. I highlight where each technology performs best. My comparison aims to help IT managers choose the best technology to meet their security needs and make it easier for them to move to cloud computing.
