SCONTAIN

Cloud Security. The objective of SCONE is to help service providers to build secure applications for public, private or hybrid clouds. This means that the focus of SCONE is on application-oriented security and not on the security of the underlying cloud system. Of course, SCONE-based applications benefit from strong security properties of the underlying cloud because this minimizes, for example, the attack surface of SCONE-based applications and by providing higher availability. SCONE helps to ensure the security of an application, i.e., the application's integrity and confidentiality, even if the security of the underlying cloud or system software would be compromised. The security of applications is ensured with the help of Intel SGX enclaves... Side Channel Attacks. Side Channel attacks on Intel SGX are the focus of a several recent research papers. First, mounting a successful side-channels is much more difficult than just dumping the memory of an existing application. In SCONE,..
