 ## About The Project
 
-PortainerCC is based on [Portainer.io Community Edition](https://github.com/portainer/portainer) and extends Portainer with confidential computing capabilities. PortainerCC allows to deploy confidential gramine containers and attest them via Intel-SGX Remote Attestation.
+Especially in view of the ever increasing shift of applications to the cloud, the question is becoming more and more important whether the cloud environment used, over which the end user has only limited control, can be trusted. Confidential computing is one approach to solving this problem. Confidential computing makes it possible to encrypt data during processing in such a way that only the CPU has access to it. This makes it possible to protect data processed in the cloud against access by the cloud provider or other users of the cloud.

+PortainerCC is based on [Portainer.io Community Edition](https://github.com/portainer/portainer) and extends Portainer with confidential computing capabilities to make it easy to run application-containers confidentially in the cloud. PortainerCC builds upon [Gramine OS](https://github.com/gramineproject/gramine) and [Marblerun](https://github.com/edgelesssys/marblerun) to run and remotely attest Gramine-applications.
 
 ## Features
 
 In its current state, PortainerCC offers these features:
 
 - Creating and storing Intel SGX Signing Keys
-- Building and deploying a Remote Attestation System based on Edgeless Systems Marblerun
-- Deploying a MariaDB instance running with GramineOS that gets remote attested and receives login credentials via Secret Provisioning
