    Phoronix: Intel SGX2 / Enclave Dynamic Memory Management Patches Posted For Linux

    While Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX) functionality has been present in CPUs going back to Skylake, it took until last year with Linux 5.11 for SGX support to finally be mainlined and required more than 40 rounds of review/revisions. Finally today Intel posted patches for bringing up SGX2 as the next iteration of Software Guard Extensions and already found in shipping processors...

            Bring able to run your private code in the public cloud, without it being exposed to the host. Having devices that are secure even though consumers have them in their possession. That sort of thing.

              When a vendor of SGX software and development tools started shipping kernel modules that open a root hole, it was obvious this was never for the benefit of people owning and operating the system itself.
