Kudelski Security to Present on SGX Secure Enclaves at Black Hat USA 2016

What:

Discussion on "SGX Secure Enclaves in Practice: Security and Crypto Review".

Aumasson and Merino's presentation will focus on Software Guard Extensions (SGX), a technology available in Intel® microprocessors that was released last year. The session is the first public discussion of SGX based on actual SGX-enabled hardware. Among other things, session attendees will learn about the development environment of SGX, and how secure it is. The speakers will explain how developers can create secure software that will not disclose private information, how to debug and analyze SGX-based software and what cryptographic schemes are used in SGX critical components. They will also present and demonstrate proofs-of-concept of cryptographic functionalities leveraging SGX, and will release new open-source tools. More information about the session may be found here.
