Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Consider constrained use with documented physical-security controls and verification of the exact hardware configuration.

Why
Selected tenant attestations work, but physical tampering can undermine TDX protection and trusted measurements. Published performance claims include a retraction.
Next
Require rack-security evidence, hardware-handling controls, host integrity settings, fresh tenant verification and independently measured workload performance.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Physical host access can undermine TDX protection and attestation.
  • Guest attestation does not establish the host memory-integrity mode.
  • Stronger integrity mode has not demonstrated complete protection against measurement forgery.
  • Signed workload commitments do not prove execution of the declared code.
  • NVSwitch is outside the published GPU attestation.
  • Security guarantees depend on the hardware configuration and trust tier.
  • Reliable workload-performance evidence is needed after fabricated benchmark figures were retracted.
