Confidential Consortium Framework: Secure Multiparty Applications with Confidentiality, Integrity, and High Availability
Summary: CCF: a framework for stateful multiparty CIA services that pairs hardware TEEs for verifiable confidentiality and code integrity with state-machine replication and an auditable immutable ledger for data integrity and high availability. Decouples node operators from consortium governance and supports custom multiparty governance and deployment on untrusted clouds; open-source. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
