TEE/SGX wiki

[Quintus]

SUAVE’s design is centred around the use of TEE’s, but not everyone is familiar with this technology. Here are some links to get you up to date on the discourse. Please add links directly or in the comments!

Talks & Explainers

• Intel SGX Demystified (Tudor Malene, Obscuro Labs)
• SGX 101 (Kim et al)
• SGX Explained (Costan and Devadas)
• MEV Roast | TEE Smart Contracts Pitfalls and Best Practices - Andrew Miller (UIUC) - YouTube
• An intro to SGX & Enclave-based API with Kevin Yu | ETHDenver Privacy Workshop - YouTube
• Attestation Mechanisms for Trusted Execution Environments Demystified
• MEV Roast | The Joys and Challenges of Adopting PETs - Jonathan Passerat-Palmbach (Flashbots) - YouTube
• MEV Roast | SGX Panel: Andrew Miller, Jonathan Passerat Palmbach, Phil Daian, Justin Drake - YouTube

Probably also good to add the link to Phala Network, a SGX-based decentralized offchain compute protocol that’s already launched on its mainnet. It allows to deploy WASM programs and javascript program to the workers, which enables features like internet access and ecdsa signing in the offchain workers distributed all over the world.
