What are the limits of Sealed processing?

1. You trust AMD: its hardware, firmware and keys. AMD has shipped fixes to its microcode and firmware.
2. Physical attacks are outside AMD's scope. Researchers have broken SEV-SNP with memory-bus devices costing from under $50 to under $1,000, given physical access.
3. Side channels are also outside AMD's model, and research continues.
4. A receipt is only as current as its patch level. We publish our minimum and reject older platforms.
5. Attestation proves which code ran, not that the code is free of bugs.
6. Outputs disclose what they must. Your broker sees claim lines, CBP sees the filing, and we see claim totals.
7. "Erased" means cryptographic erase. It holds only if every copy of the keys is destroyed and none were escrowed.
8. You and your broker keep the records CBP requires.
9. It isn't CMMC, FedRAMP, ITAR or EAR authorization.
10. It protects confidentiality, not uptime. Our 24-hour clock depends on the host.⁠*

*24 hours from a complete package: entry summaries (CBP 7501), commercial invoices, packing lists, transport documents and export records for the period, plus the bill of materials and production records for manufacturing claims. We tell you the moment your package is complete, and the clock starts then. CBP rulings, waivers and approvals are separate from this clock.
