US Patent 11941457 Disaggregated computing for distributed confidential computing environment

An apparatus to facilitate disaggregated computing for a distributed confidential computing environment is disclosed. The apparatus includes a source remote direct memory access (RDMA) network interface controller (RNIC); a queue to store a data entry corresponding to an RDMA request between the source RNIC and a sink RNIC; a data buffer to store data for an RDMA transfer corresponding to the RDMA request, the RDMA transfer between the source RNIC and the sink RNIC; and a trusted execution environment (TEE) comprising an authentication tag controller to: initialize a first authentication tag calculated using a first key known between a source consumer generating the RDMA request and the source RNIC; associate the first authentication tag with the data entry as integrity verification; initialize a second authentication tag calculated using a second key; and associate the second authentication tag with the data buffer as integrity verification for the data buffer.
