EnclaveDB – A Secure Database using SGX

Abstract

To what extent can we guarantee confidentiality, integrity, and freshness of data and queries in an untrusted cloud when the operating system is compromised and the database administrator is considered malicious? EnclaveDB is a database that utilizes the isolation offered by Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) to assure these important properties. We will analyze the concept of EnclaveDB, the guarantees that it offers, and its usability as a replacement for traditional in-memory database engines.
