Abstract
Techniques performed by offload computing devices that establish and advertise confidential computing environments for use by other computing devices. The offload computing devices may each be executing an attestable bootloader that creates the confidential computing environments, advertises the available resources to the other computing devices, establish secure encrypted channels with the other devices, and run processes in the confidential computing environments on behalf of the other computing devices. In addition to advertising the availability of computing resources in the confidential environments, the offload computing devices may additionally advertise performance metrics associated with the confidential computing environments. Computing devices may receive the advertisements, and send requests to the offload computing devices to run processes on their behalf in the confidential computing environments.
