## Sealed Computing

A canonical use of Oak is to build privacy-preserving sealed computing applications.

In a sealed computing application, a node (usually a client device) sends data to an enclave application (usually a server), which processes data without the service provider hosting the enclave application being able to see the inputs, outputs, or side effects of the computation.

Seems like an attempt at a privacy-preserving alternative to running your whole phone OS image on a server?
