What is CCF?

CCF, or Confidential Consortium Framework, is an open-source framework for building secure, highly available, and performant applications that focus on multi-party compute and data management. It uses a combination of hardware-based trusted execution environments (TEEs), like Intel SGX or AMD SEV, and a distributed, replicated ledger to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and auditability. CCF is often used in scenarios where multiple organizations need to collaborate on sensitive data without fully trusting each other, such as in financial services, healthcare, and supply chain management. It allows participants to define and enforce rules around data access and processing, providing a transparent and verifiable record of all actions.
