What is "privatecore"

PrivateCore is a venture-backed startup located in Palo Alto, California that develops software to secure server data through server attestation and memory encryption. The company’s attestation and memory encryption technology fills a gap that exists between “ data in motion” encryption ( TLS, email encryption) and “ data at rest” encryption ( disk encryption, tape encryption) by protecting “data in use” ( random access memory). PrivateCore memory encryption technology protects against threats to servers such as cold boot attacks, hardware advanced persistent threats, rootkits/bootkits, computer hardware supply chain attacks, and physical threats to servers from insiders. PrivateCore was acquired by Facebook, a deal that was announced on 7 August 2014.
