Documentation¶

Welcome to the documentation for Caution. Deploy sensitive workloads faster, with cryptographic proof that each enclave runs the intended source code.

What is Caution?¶

Caution is a verifiable confidential compute platform for deploying and managing sensitive workloads. It extends traditional confidential compute with independently verifiable deployments and hardware-backed, end-to-end encryption of application data.

Caution provides stronger software integrity and confidentiality assurances than isolation alone through two core security properties:

Verifiable deployments: Independently verify that the code running in production matches the source code, all the way down to the kernel.
End-to-end encryption: Application data remains encrypted and is never exposed to untrusted environments, including infrastructure operators.

Caution is fully open source, so teams can inspect, verify, and self-host the platform themselves. If you prefer to run the platform independently, see the source code.
