1st Workshop on System Software for Trusted Execution (SysTEX 2016)
December 12, 2016
Program
9:00-10:00 Invited keynote by Ittai Anati (Intel)
TEE - More than just a secure container. The importance of TCB updates (slides)
Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) protects selected code and data from disclosure or modification. Developers can partition their application into CPU hardened "enclaves" or protected areas of execution that increase security even on compromised platforms. The talk will focus on the very important architectural ingredient, although less in the spotlight, the built-in support for hardware based attestation. The talk will cover the concepts of provisioning, attestation, and TCB recovery and describe the way Intel® SGX addresses the matter.
Ittai Anati is a Senior Principal Engineer security architect at Intel corporation. In his last assignment Ittai lead the architecture team that incorporated Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) into Intel's 6th generation Core.
