Enarx is an open-source command-line tool and runtime for running applications inside hardware Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) such as Intel SGX and AMD SEV-SNP. It uses a WebAssembly (Wasm/WASI) runtime based on wasmtime so applications written in many languages can be deployed confidentially without rewrites, with hardware-neutral attestation.
Use cases
- run a WebAssembly application inside an Intel SGX or AMD SEV-SNP enclave
- deploy sensitive workloads to untrusted cloud hosts with data-in-use encryption
- run the same wasm binary across different CPU architectures and TEE vendors
- attest a remote enclave before sending it secrets or keys
- publish and deploy wasm packages to a remote package host
- process PII, healthcare, or financial data in compliance with GDPR or HIPAA
- protect cryptographic key management and payment processing workloads
When to choose
- you need confidential computing (data protection in use) without rewriting apps for a specific TEE SDK
- you want hardware-vendor-neutral deployment of the same wasm artifact across SGX and SEV-SNP
- you need remote attestation integrated into the deployment workflow
- your workload is written in Rust, C/C++, Go, or another language with Wasm/WASI support
When to avoid
- you need full native performance or system access beyond what WASI provides
- your target hardware lacks SGX or SEV-SNP support (full TEE support requires Linux with KVM)
- you need a general-purpose container or VM sandbox rather than a TEE-based runtime
- you depend on languages or WASI features with only experimental tier support
