  "description": "SCONE (Secure CONtainer Environment) is a secure container mechanism for Docker that leverages Intel SGX (Software Guard eXtensions) to protect Linux container processes from external attacks, including those from privileged system software like the OS kernel and hypervisor. It aims to provide strong confidentiality and integrity guarantees for application data with a small trusted computing base (TCB) and low performance overhead.",
