Abstract

Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) provides a trusted execution environment with hardware root of trust, brings powerful capability to build secure applications to solve data security problems. However applying SGX technology correctly and writing secure code are still a challenge.

In this talk, we want to present challenges and issues we saw with applying SGX to protect sensitive data in product. We will broadly discuss open problems including how to write ecall functions correctly, how to avoid potential side channel attack, what are the architecture issues when we apply secure AI with Intel® SGX.
