Bringing Intel SGX to the Rust Ecosystem

Explore the integration of Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) into the Rust ecosystem in this conference talk from RustFest Paris 2018. Learn about the Rust SGX SDK, developed by Baidu X Labs, which combines the security features of Intel SGX with Rust's memory safety guarantees. Discover how this powerful combination protects secrets from various attacks and provides robust security measures. Gain insights into the process of porting Rust's standard library and popular crates to work within the SGX environment. Understand the unique operating system and threading model used by Intel SGX and how it differs from traditional approaches. Find out about the new target platform, x86_64-unknown-linux-sgx, which enables Xargo support for SGX development. Delve into the future of trusted computing and how Rust is playing a crucial role in enhancing security for modern Intel CPUs.
