Open Source Summit + ELC North America 2020

There are many sensitive workloads that you shouldn't entrust to a public cloud to run, or may even have concerns about running on on-premises systems. Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) such as Intel's SGX and AMD's SEV provide a great opportunity to help secure these workloads, but they're not easy to use.

Enarx is a project which aims to make it simple to deploy workloads to a variety of different TEE technologies in the cloud, on premises or elsewhere, whilst ensuring that your application workload is as secure as possible. It is written in Rust, and provides a WebAssembly (WASI) runtime. This session will outline the various parts of the sensitive workload deployment problem and how Enarx is architected to solve them, including attestation, a key pain point when considering deployment on TEEs. It will also include a demo of the current state of Enarx and talk about opportunities for involvement in the project.

Enarx is a fully open source project, under the Apache 2.0 license, and a part of the Confidential Computing Consortium, a Linux Foundation community project.

Differences from previous version:
