Confidential Computing on IBM Z® and LinuxONE with Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1 – Virtual – December 12, 2023

IBM will host a Virtual Confidential Computing on IBM Z® and LinuxONE
with Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1 December 12, 2023.

This event will be both presentation and hands-on labs.

Objective:
IBM Washington Systems Center is pleased to invite you to our Confidential Computing on IBM Z® and LinuxONE with Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1 Wildfire Workshop.
This workshop will cover these topics:

• Introduction to Confidential Computing and its implementation on IBM Z and LinuxONE
• Introduction to Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1 and its two main components- Hyper Protect Container Runtime and Crypto Express Network API for Secure Execution Enclaves
• Hands-on lab using Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1

During the lab, students will gain extensive hands-on experience with Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1. Students will:

• Configure the logging service for a Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1 guest
• Configure mutual authentication and encryption between the Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1 guest and the logging service
• Configure mutual authentication and encryption between the Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1 guest and a Crypto Express Network API for Secure Execution Enclaves server
• Create a signed and encrypted workload contract required by the Hyper Protect Container Runtime and then launch this workload
• Configure mutual authentication and encryption between sample client code and the Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1 guest
• Configure and test the sample client code to prove the success of your lab setup

Prerequisites:

• This is a virtual workshop and will be delivered through WebEx
• The lab will be performed on instructor-provided Linux systems- experience with Linux is helpful, but not necessary. All that is needed to access these Linux systems is a modern web browser.

Audience:
Anyone interested in learning more about Confidential Computing on IBM Z and LinuxONE as implemented by Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 2.1
