# Confidential

> Sealed execution inside a Trusted Execution Environment, with a signed attestation you can verify.

Confidential runs your call inside a **Trusted Execution Environment**: a sealed environment the surrounding system cannot read into, which produces a signed **attestation**. New to the idea? Start with the [TEE primer](/privacy/tee-attestation/what-a-tee-is).

## What You Get

* **Sealed execution**, on backends built for it.
* **An attestation you can check.** Nito runs a baseline verification, then returns the raw evidence so you can complete full hardware verification yourself.
* **Streaming.** The response appears as it is written, rather than arriving all at once when it is finished.
* Everything [Private](/privacy/levels/private) gives you, underneath.

The baseline confirms the evidence is present and parseable, that the proof metadata and signing material are there, and that the evidence is bound to a fresh value you supply with the request. It stops short of the hardware-level checks: sealed-hardware quotes, certificate chains, revocation lists, and trusted-computing-base policies are yours to complete, which is why the raw evidence comes back to you. Full procedure and a reference verifier: [TEE attestation](/privacy/tee-attestation).

## How to Pick Confidential Models

Choose a model whose catalog entry ends in `:confidential`. The level travels with the model, so there is nothing else to set. A call that cannot be served at Confidential fails with a clear message rather than running at a weaker level.

## When to Use It

When you want to verify that a sealed environment ran the work, and you still want streaming and the ordinary feature set.
