Abstract
Intel SGX enables securing applications at the hardware level, which makes it a very
useful tool for running applications on untrusted hosts. Security based on hardware mechanisms
is a rapidly evolving research area. SGX and similar tools have great potential to
enhance security for many sensitive applications. Researchers are currently building tools
that aid in porting of applications for use with the hardware based security. My work has
demonstrated both benefits and limitations of the current SGX environment and associated
tools. The current technology cannot support large applications such as MySQL server,
and more work will need to be done to enable deployment of large-scale solutions.
