Bug Description
SGX is a Intel CPU hardware feature that enabled the creation of execution enclaves. It leverages Intel® Total Memory Encryption – Multi-Key (TME-MK) to allow the enclaves memory to be encrypted and thus protected from all other code running on the CPU.
Unfortunately, applications do not “just work” on SGX. SGX imposes a number of restrictions on enclave
code that require application changes or a layer of indirection.
This package introduces:
- the SGX SDK : used to build SGX confidential applications/
- the SGX runtime that will allow SGX enclaves to run.
This work is motivated by the support for another more recent and advanced Intel confidential
computing technology : Intel TDX that is supported in 25.10 (Questing). Indeed, to achieve the
quote generation for remote attestation, Intel TDX make use of an SGX enclave.
