What is Coco?

Coco is a cryptographic framework developed by Facebook (Meta) for confidential computing. It enables developers to build applications that can operate on sensitive data while protecting its confidentiality and integrity. This is achieved through the use of secure enclaves and advanced cryptographic techniques, allowing computation on encrypted data without decrypting it in the main memory. Coco is commonly used to build privacy-preserving applications in areas such as finance, healthcare, and data analytics, where data security and confidentiality are paramount.
