SecAppDev 2022 Lecture Details
Trusted Execution and how far you can trust it
Jan Tobias Muehlberg
Schedule TBD
Short description
Modern processors provide Trusted Execution Environments that allow you to protect software components even from an untrusted operating system. Learn when and how to use them!
Abstract
You have developed the perfectly secure software. You did your best engineering effort, you used safe programming languages, you tested it thoroughly. Now you want to deploy it and you realise that you don't really trust the client's PC and their software stack to not tamper with your code. How could you possibly protect your software from malicious low-level interactions?
In this session you will learn how to leverage component isolation and software attestation from Trusted Execution Environments (e.g., Intel SGX, ARM TrustZone, Sancus) to build secure distributed applications.
Key takeaway
Learn how and when to rely on technologies such as Intel SGX, and understand what security guarantees these technologies can provide.
