Acknowledgments

This book is an embodiment of work by many different Intel Corporation communities of engineers, architects, technical and product marketing engineers, software architects, and researchers at Intel labs, as well as many external software and solution partners. The work could not have been created without the multi-year effort and development of Security Technologies by Intel’s Data Center Group and Software and Services Group. Their technical whitepapers, industry engagements, and eco-system development work provided the impetus for the development of the solution architectures, solution components, and reference implementations discussed in this book. It is not feasible to name all the people involved, but here is a very likely nonexhaustive list of folks we would like to acknowledge: Monty Wiseman, Joe Cihula, Steve Orrin, James Blakley, James Greene, Iddo Kadim, Lynn Comp, Tracie Zenti, Hemma Prafullchandra, Vince Lubsey, Murugiah Souppaya, Michael Bartock and Nikhil Sharma. Special acknowledgement to the Intel Cloud Security team, including Ravi Varanasi, Uttam Shetty, Sudhir S. Bangalore, Jonathan Buhacoff, Kamal Natesan and Jerry Wheeler. This team has been at the forefront of the solution definition and development that are covered in this book.

The authors gratefully acknowledge the time, guidance, and expertise of the technical reviewers, Martin Guttmann, Uttam Shetty, Ren Wu, and Mitch Koyama.
