Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) software stack for Linux, comprising the SGX driver, SDK, and Platform Software (PSW). It enables developers to build applications that protect selected code and data from disclosure or modification using hardware-backed enclaves.
Use cases
- build applications with hardware-isolated enclaves on Linux
- protect sensitive code and data from a compromised OS or hypervisor
- perform ECDSA attestation for enclave trust verification
- develop confidential computing workloads on Intel CPUs
- install and configure the SGX platform software and aesmd service
When to choose
- you need hardware-backed trusted execution on Intel CPUs running Linux
- you are developing enclave applications and need the official SDK and PSW
- you require remote attestation for confidential computing
When to avoid
- your hardware does not support Intel SGX
- you need confidential computing on non-Intel platforms or cloud TEEs like AMD SEV or ARM TrustZone
- you only need software-level encryption without hardware isolation
