Abstract

Sensitive personal data is to an increasing degree hosted on third-party cloud providers. This generates strong concerns about data security and privacy as the trusted computing base is expanded to include hardware components not under the direct supervision of the administrative entity responsible for the data. Fortunately, major hardware manufacturers now include mechanisms promoting secure remote execution. This paper studies Intel’s Software Guard eXtensions (SGX), and experimentally quantifies how basic usage of this instruction set extension will affect how cloud hosted services must be constructed. Our experiments show that correct partitioning of a service’s functional components will be critical for performance.
