CCS'17 Tutorial
During CCS 2017, Taesoo Kim (Georgia Tech), Zhiqiang Lin (UT Dallas) and Chia-Che Tsai (Stony Brook University / UC Berkeley) together gave an overall tutorial on Intel SGX technology. The tutorial's contents are well organized and presented by SGX experts in the academia. We believe that this tutorial serves as a perfect entry point to understand the background of SGX technology.
This tutorial consists of three parts, including:
- 1.SGX 101: introduction, performance, and applications
- 2.SGX shielding framework and development tools
- 3.SGX Security Issues
In this tutorial, Zhiqiang Lin first introduced the basic concepts of Intel SGX, its development workflows, potential applications and performance characteristics. Then, Chia-Che Tsai introduced various ways to quickly start writing SGX applications, specifically by utilizing library OSes or thin shielding layers; he explained the pros and cons of each approach in terms of security and usability. Last but not least, Taesoo Kim explained known security concerns, including cache/branch side-channel attacks and memory safety issues, and corresponding defenses with various working demos.
