Following CordaCon we are excited to announce R3 is working on the next major platform version — Corda 5 — and that the first public milestone — Corda 5 Developer Preview — is available!

We are pleased to announce the release of Conclave 1.2, which delivers two data persistence features, a key-derivation service to simplify cloud development, a common host, and other features that improvement the developer experience.

KDS derives the key from a master key. This master key can be a key stored in an HSM, Azure KMS, or it can be a hardcoded debug key. For the 1.2 release, there is only one master key which KDS provides, and this is hardcoded in KDS and is called the DEBUG key.

Conclave 1.2 is here. It brings with it a load of important features, an important one being the Enclave Persistent Filesystem and the Persistent Map.

The Conclave Web Host Server has been introduced as part of the v1.2 release of the Conclave platform. It allows developers to concentrate on building their enclave and client components without worrying about the host part.

The confidential computing landscape has been emerging quickly. Organizations are now starting the understand the value of secure data processing. We at R3 are working towards supporting the fast-evolving confidential computing field with our platform “Conclave” by making it more robust and developer-friendly.

Cloud computation is a need of the day, where companies want to minimize the time to market by outsourcing computation to the cloud. This exposes them to security concerns of data being stolen from untrusted cloud/OS/hypervisor.
