This proof of concept application runs on Intel SGX using the Rust SGX SDK.

This file serves as a guide for setting up the application on a local machine and running the project in simulation mode.

• Docker
• Rust SGX SDK
• Compatible machine: The code was developed on a 2014 Macbook Pro
• IDE: The code was developed with CLION, but VSCode also works

The setup will cover the steps to setup the application on a MacOS machine that does not natively support Intel SGX. The application will run a simulated version of Intel SGX using a docker container. Note that the initial setup may take some time depending on your computer and internet connection.

1. The first step is to install the Rust SGX SDK specifically for simulation mode

• Pull the docker container: $ docker pull baiduxlab/sgx-rust
• Start a docker with the Rust SGX SDK $ docker run -v /your/path/to/rust-sgx:/root/sgx -ti baiduxlab/sgx-rust
  • Remember to change /your/path/to to the path where you downloaded the docker container

2. Validate that the install is working:

• Navigate to ~/sgx/samplecode/helloworld

  • set the SGX_MODE to SW in Makefile
  • Replace SGX_MODE ?= HW with SGX_MODE ?= SW
  • OR run export SGX_MODE=SW in your terminal

• Test if the sample code is working:

  root@docker:~/sgx/samplecode/helloworld# make (If you have issues try make SGX_MODE=SW)

  root@docker:~/sgx/samplecode/helloworld# cd bin

  root@docker:~/sgx/samplecode/helloworld/bin# ./app

  • Consult the Rust SGX SDK page if any errors occur, they have detailed setup instructions.

3. Once you have verified that the Rust SGX SDK is working:

• Navigate to the samplecode folder in the Rust SGX SDK: e.g. cd /your/path/to/rust-sgx/samplecode/
• Clone this repository into the samplecode folder

4. Download the data for the application:

• Download the compressed file containing all the data from Google Drive
• Unzip the compressed file and extract all the json files to /your/path/to/rust-sgx/samplecode/CCR-SGX/data/

5. Running the POC Application

• Remember to start the docker container, consult Step 1.

• Navigate to the correct folder: root@docker:~# cd sgx/samplecode/CCR-SGX

• Run export SGX_MODE=SW in your terminal

  root@docker:~/sgx/samplecode/CCR-SGX# make

  root@docker:~/sgx/samplecode/CCR-SGX# cd bin

  root@docker:~/sgx/samplecode/CCR-SGX/bin# ./app
