Some time ago, while gathering reference material for a session on Confidential Containers, I ran into a Microsoft demo on GitHub and Microsoft’s Azure AI Confidential Inferencing: Technical Deep-Dive blog post. It’s a very insightful post from September 2024 that goes into detail about how Microsoft was/is tackling confidential inferencing in Azure’s AI portfolio. Both mentioned something called Oblivious HTTP (OHTTP); something I had never heard of, and that seemed worth looking into.
