Intel(R) Software Guard Extensions (Intel(R) SGX) is an Intel technology for application developers seeking to protect select code and data from disclosure or modification.
The Linux* Intel(R) SGX software stack is comprised of the Intel(R) SGX driver, the Intel(R) SGX SDK, and the Intel(R) SGX Platform Software (PSW). The Intel(R) SGX SDK and Intel(R) SGX PSW are hosted in the linux-sgx project.
The linux-sgx-driver project hosts the out-of-tree driver for the Linux* Intel(R) SGX software stack, which will be used until the driver upstreaming process is complete.
The repository provides a reference implementation of a Launch Enclave for 'Flexible Launch Control' under psw/ae/ref_le. The reference LE implementation can be used as a basis for enforcing different launch control policy by the platform developer or owner. To build and try it by yourself, please refer to the ref_le.md for details.
See License.txt for details.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for details.

- To install the additional required tools:
- On Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04:
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev debhelper cmake
- On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0, CentOS 7.5 and Fedora 27:
$ sudo yum install openssl-devel libcurl-devel protobuf-devel cmake
- On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12:
$ sudo zypper install libopenssl-devel libcurl-devel protobuf-devel cmake
- To install latest Intel(R) SGX SDK Installer Ensure that you have downloaded latest Intel(R) SGX SDK Installer from the Intel(R) SGX SDK and followed the Installation Guide in the same page to install latest Intel(R) SGX SDK Installer.
- To install the additional required tools:
-
Use the script
download_prebuilt.sh
inside source code package to download prebuilt binaries to prebuilt folder
You may need set an https proxy for thewget
tool used by the script (such asexport https_proxy=http://test-proxy:test-port
)
$ ./download_prebuilt.sh
- To build Intel(R) SGX SDK with default configuration, enter the following command:
$ make sdk
You can find the tools and libraries generated in the build/linux
directory.
Note: You can also go to the sdk
folder and use the make
command to build the Intel(R) SGX SDK component only.
- This repository supports to build the Intel(R) SGX SDK based on either precompiled optimized IPP/string/math libraries or open sourced version of SGXSSL/string/math libraries.
The default build uses precompiled optimized libraries, which are downloaded by the script
./download_prebuilt.sh
. You can also use the open sourced version implementation instead by entering the following command:
$ make sdk USE_OPT_LIBS=0
Note: Building the Intel(R) SGX PSW with open sourced SGXSSL/string/math libraries is not supported.
- To build Intel(R) SGX SDK with debug information, enter the following command:
$ make sdk DEBUG=1
- To clean the files generated by previous
make sdk
command, enter the following command:
$ make clean
- To build the Intel(R) SGX SDK installer, enter the following command:
$ make sdk_install_pkg
You can find the generated Intel(R) SGX SDK installer sgx_linux_x64_sdk_${version}.bin
located under linux/installer/bin/
, where ${version}
refers to the version number.
Note: The above command builds the Intel(R) SGX SDK with default configuration firstly and then generates the target SDK Installer. To build the Intel(R) SGX SDK Installer with debug information kept in the tools and libraries, enter the following command:
$ make sdk_install_pkg DEBUG=1
- To build Intel(R) SGX PSW with default configuration, enter the following command:
$ make psw
You can find the tools and libraries generated in the build/linux
directory.
Note: You can also go to the psw
folder and use the make
command to build the Intel(R) SGX PSW component only.
- To build Intel(R) SGX PSW with debug information, enter the following command:
$ make psw DEBUG=1
- To clean the files generated by previous
make psw
command, enter the following command:
$ make clean
- The build above uses prebuilt Intel(R) Architecture Enclaves(LE/PvE/QE/PCE/PSE-OP/PSE-PR) and applet(PSDA) - the files
psw/ae/data/prebuilt/libsgx_*.signed.so
andpsw/ae/data/prebuilt/PSDA.dalp
, which have been signed by Intel in advance. To build those enclaves by yourself (without a signature), first you need to install latest Intel(R) SGX SDK from the Intel(R) SGX SDK and then build PSW with the default configuration. After that, you can build each Architecture Enclave by using themake
command from the corresponding folder:
$ cd psw/ae/le
$ make
-
To build the Intel(R) SGX PSW installer, enter the following command:
- On Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04:
$ make deb_pkg
You can find the generated Intel(R) SGX PSW installer
libsgx-urts_${version}-${revision}_amd64.deb
andlibsgx-enclave-common_${version}-${revision}_amd64.deb
located underlinux/installer/deb
, where${version}
refers to the version number and the${revision}
refers to the revision number of the package.
Note: On Ubuntu 18.04, besides the Intel(R) SGX PSW installer, the above command generates another debug symbol package namedlibsgx-enclave-common-dbgsym_${version}-${revision}_amd64.ddeb
for debug purpose. On Ubuntu 16.04, if you want to keep debug symbols in the Intel(R) SGX PSW installer, before building the Intel(R) SGX PSW, you need to export an environment variable to ensure the debug symbols not stripped:$ export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip"
Note: The above command builds the Intel(R) SGX PSW with default configuration firstly and then generates the target PSW Installer. To build the Intel(R) SGX PSW Installer without optimization and with full debug information kept in the tools and libraries, enter the following command:
$ make deb_pkg DEBUG=1
- On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 and CentOS 7.5:
- On Fedora 27:
- On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12:
$ make psw_install_pkg
You can find the generated Intel(R) SGX PSW installer
sgx_linux_x64_psw_${version}.bin
located underlinux/installer/bin/
, where${version}
refers to the version number.Note: The above command builds the Intel(R) SGX PSW with default configuration firstly and then generates the target PSW Installer. To build the Intel(R) SGX PSW Installer with debug information kept in the tools and libraries, enter the following command:
$ make psw_install_pkg DEBUG=1
-
To build the Intel(R) SGX PSW development installer separately, enter the following command:
- On Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04:
$ make deb_sgx_enclave_common_dev_pkg
You can find the generated Intel(R) SGX PSW development installer
libsgx-enclave-common-dev_${version}-${revision}_${arch}.deb

NOTE: If you had already installed Intel(R) SGX driver without ECDSA attestation, please uninstall the driver firstly and then install the Intel(R) SGX DCAP driver. Otherwise the newly installed Intel(R) SGX DCAP driver will be unworkable.
- Install PCK Caching Service. For how to install and configure PCK Caching Service, please refer to SGXDataCenterAttestationPrimitives
- Ensure the PCK Caching Service is setup correctly by local administrator or data center administrator. Also make sure that the configure file of quote provider library (/etc/sgx_default_qcnl.conf) is consistent with the real environment, for example: PCS_URL=https://your_pcs_server:8081/sgx/certification/v1/
The Intel(R) SGX PSW installer installs an aesmd service in your machine, which is running in a special linux account aesmd
.
To stop the service: $ sudo service aesmd stop
To start the service: $ sudo service aesmd start
To restart the service: $ sudo service aesmd restart
The aesmd service uses the HTTP protocol to initialize some services.
If a proxy is required for the HTTP protocol, you may need to manually set up the proxy for the aesmd service.
You should manually edit the file /etc/aesmd.conf
(refer to the comments in the file) to set the proxy for the aesmd service.
After you configure the proxy, you need to restart the service to enable the proxy.
