Bug fixes

Removed compiler-rt patch

Rust SGX SDK v1.1.1

Supports Intel SGX SDK v2.9

Supports Rust nightly-2020-03-12

Docker images refactored Due to the requirement of LVI mitigation, the docker image has to contain very new version of GCC/G++ and GNU binutils with LVI patch. We shipped our docker images with two options: (1) build gcc from source, or (2) use gcc from well-known repo. Please use at your own choice.

New proc macro sgx_align sgx_align can help with mitigate INTEL-SA-00219. Please refer to the unit test codes for sample usage.

Use hashbrown to replace old std::collections We move to hashbrown v0.7 and skipped v0.6.

Rust SGX SDK v1.0.0 Release Notes

Baidu X-Lab provides Rust SGX SDK that is a bundle of basic libraries, scripts and ported libraries for developing Intel SGX programs in Rust programming language. Based on this SDK, developers could easily build up their SGX programs in Rust. Rust SGX SDK provides the strongest defence and helps protect the secret data reside in an enclave effectively even when the OS is compromised. It is important to real world data privacy and cloud security. Since the first day of open source, we have recevied many recommendations and supports from both academic and industry. Today, we are proudly releasing the 1.0.0 version of Rust SGX SDK, indicating that Rust SGX SDK is becoming stable and ready for production.

Intel SGX is being well adopted by industry, such as Microsoft, Ali cloud and IBM, which indicates that SGX's ability for trusted computing and data protection has been accepted by giant companies and the software stack of Intel SGX is becoming more and more critical. Ideally, the SGX application should guarantee safety from the first line of its code, instead of consumpting tremenduous of engineer-months for code auditing and fuzzing. Thus, C/C++ is not the first choice of programming language for Intel SGX applications due to the lack of memory safety guarantees. To this end, we proposed Rust SGX SDK which brings the best practice of memory safety to SGX projects, and reduces the workload of developing flawless SGX projects significantly. Based on this, we can leverage new techniques such as Non-bypassable Security Paradigm to assist the formal verification of critical security attributes on large projects, which is believed to be the state-of-art of practical application security guarantee. Apart from the C/C++ SDK provided by Intel, Rust SGX SDK is the only recommended SDK listed on Intel SGX's homepage.

From v1.0.0, Rust SGX SDK is heading towards stability and production. As a proof of concept, we provide a solution to the classic Private-Set-Intersection problem. PSI is a cryptographic technique that allows two parties to compute the intersection of their sets without revealing anything except the intersection. The PSI solution is very useful in many cases such as threat intelligence exchanging and sharing. In this proof of concept, we build a fair, trusted, reliable and attestable arbiter which can compute the intersection set with almost zero overhead and guarantee safety and security. In addition, the PSI algorithm is side channel resistant.

What's more, we provide a set of ported in-enclave WebAssembly interpreter and code samples. The support of WebAssembly (wasm) in Rust SGX SDK is an experimental feature in this version. As the hottest target platform, WebAssembly has been supported by major programming languages and compilers. Microsoft, Google, Apple and Mozilla support WebAssembly in their browser's Javascript engines. LLVM, Rust and Go provide experimental wasm as target platform and Parity has released v1.10 recently to support Wasm Smart Contracts. With the help of SGX WebAssembly interpreter, executing programs written in major programming languages and smart contract is within a stone's throw.

Good news! Rust SGX SDK proposal has been adopted by RustFest'18 and we'll present this work in Paris this week!

WebAssembly interpreter We port the Parity's wasmi to Intel SGX (see ported third party libraries at parity-wasm/wabt-rs-core/wasmi and provide the wasmi code sample. The sample code shows how to use the ported WebAssembly interpreter to passes all 70 cases in WebAssembly testsuite! . We put the ported interpreter inside the SGX enclave and provide a well-defined enclave interface for passing WebAssembly codes as input and get its results in the untrusted world. With the ported WebAssembly interpreter, one can easily execute wasm codes and protect its data safely using Intel SGX and benefits from Rust's memory safety guarantees!

Private set intersection sample As a best use case of Intel SGX, we provide a sample solution of Private-Set-Intersection in psi code sample. It is derived from the remote attestation sample and can solve the two-party private-set-intersection problem perfectly and resists side-channel attacks!

Moving to rust-stable From v1.0.0, rust-sgx-sdk is going to be more stable and prepared for production. So stable branch of Rust is the best choice for the future of rust-sgx-sdk. In this version, we support the most recent Rust stable toolchain (stable-2018-05-10) in rust-stable branch and we are not catching up with the most recent nightly build due to a series of changes and unfinished codes reside in libstd and only support nightly-2018-04-12 in the master. We strongly recommend using the rust-stable branch for better stability and production use.

Support Intel SGX SDK v2.1.3

Updated all docker images All sgx-rust/sgx-rust-experimental/sgx-rust-stable are updated accordingly. If you met problems similar to "Docker pull failed with unauthorized: authentication required", please check your network or wait for the service to recover.

Rust SGX SDK v0.9.8 Release Notes

New branch rust-stable We provide a new branch to support stable channel of Rust in a new branch 'rust-stable'. It contains modified libraries and a customized xargo. The customized cargo allows Rust stable to compile sysroot by demonstrating RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP as a env var. We provide a new docker image baiduxlab/sgx-rust-stable as long as its dockerfile.

Support Intel SGX SDK v2.1.2

Support Rust nightly 2018-03-16

Provide APIs against spectre attack We provide sgx_trts::{rsgx_lfence,rsgx_sfence,rsgx_mfence} to help developers stop speculative execution on demand. We urge SGX developers to look at Intel's latest development guide and another guide. To defend against spectre, developers must rewrite their enclaves according to the guidance from Intel. We show how to rewrite SGX enclave to defend against spectre in TLS client/server and local attestation code samples.

New API rsgx_is_enclave_crashed We provide sgx_trts::rsgx_is_enclave_crashed corresponding to a new feature of Intel SGX SDK 2.1.2.

rust-protobuf We provide a ported protobuf library for SGX enclave at protobuf. And we provide an example showing how to use it at protobuf code sample. Attention: please install the rust-protobuf compiler by cargo install protobuf --vers=1.4.4 before build the sample project.

Rust SGX SDK v0.9.7 Release Notes

Provide sgx_tstd::untrusted namespace v0.9.7 provides sgx_tstd::untrusted::{fs,path,time} which are related to ocall functions. They are always enabled no matter untrusted_fs or untrusted_time feature is enabled or not. The major concern of providing such a namespace is that we want the developer to know they are invoking ocall related functions that brings untrusted data into the trusted execution engine. For the best security practice, explicitly importing from sgx_tstd::untrusted is better than enabling feature in Cargo.toml. We stress that untrusted_fs and untrusted_time features are designed to be contingency plans and should only be enabled when porting a very complex Rust crate to a Rust-SGX enclave.

Rename feature untrusted_net to net net is well-known as untrusted and we believe net is a better choice and similar to other features: such as backtrace and stdio.

Rust SGX SDK v0.9.6 Release Notes

Support latest Rust nightly build (nightly-2018-02-05-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)

Security enhancement Added three features for sgx_tstd: untrusted_fs untrusted_time untrusted_net to control the insecure ocall interface. By default, io-related features in fs/time/net are DISABLED. To enable them, please add feature declarations such as features = ["untrusted_fs"] for sgx_tstd in Cargo.toml. All sample codes and third party libraries are updated accordingly. Note that data from unstrusted fs/time are UNTRUSTEDand thus use them AT YOUR OWN RISK. Data from net are well-known as untrusted and need validation instinctively. We strongly recommend our TLS termination for network access, instead of using net directly.

Refined sgxtime and support sgxcounter Moved the trusted time service to sgx_tservice::sgxtime and implemented the monotonic counter in sgx_tservice::sgxcounter.

Rust SGX SDK v0.9.5 Release Notes

Support latest Rust nightly build (nightly-2018-01-19-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)

Xargo support Rust SGX SDK v0.9.5 provides xargo support with a target x86_64-unknown-linux-sgx. To compile a crate using xargo, add a corresponding json config and make appropirate changes to the source code, then compile it with xargo build -target x86_64-unknown-linux-sgx --release. Porting is easier! Please refer to the ported third-party libraries for more details.

Network access support We port part of std::net to sgx_tstd::net. Now sgx_tstd::net supports most of socket functions by using 12 ocalls (defined in edl/sgx_net.edl).

Rustls, webpki and ring for TLS support We port the most famous TLS implementation rustls, along with its dependnecy webpki and crypto library ring into Rust-SGX world. And we provide a pair of TLS client/server application code samples. Please reference to tls sample codes for detail.

File system access (sgx_tstd::fs and sgx_tstd::sgxfs) support We port part of std::fs to sgx_tstd::fs for normal linux files. Also, we provide sgx_tstd::sgxfs to support Intel's protected_fs, an encrypted file access mechanism.

Time (sgx_tstd::time and sgx::tservice::SgxTime) support We port std::time to sgx_tstd::time and it provides untrusted local time. We implement sgx::tservice::SgxTime for the Intel ME based trusted timestamp. To use SgxTime, the iClsclient library and Dynamic Application Loader (DAL) Host Interface (aka JHI) are required. Please reference to sgxtime usage for detail.

Environment variable operation (sgx_tstd::env) support We port part of std::env to sgx_tstd::env to support setting/getting environment variables.

New third-party libraries

All of the third-party libraries could be compiled by make or XARGO_SGX=1 make. In this release, we have the following new libraries ported.

  1. bincode
  2. dtoa
  3. heapsize
  4. itoa
  5. linked-hash-map
  6. log
  7. ring
  8. rust-base64
  9. rust-serialize
  10. rustls
  11. safemem
  12. sct
  13. serde-rs
  14. webpki

About xargo's sysroot

xargo would generate a sysroot, including all basic libraries. In the past, everytime a Rust-SGX project is compiled via make, the basic Rust-SGX runtime would be compiled. Now, if we use xargo to compile (XARGO_SGX=1 make), only the first time xargo builds the sysroot and saves them in Rust's directory and the basic Rust-SGX libraries would be re-used later.

The current sysroot includes:

  1. libcompiler_builtins
  2. libcore
  3. liblibc
  4. libpanic_abort
  5. libpanic_unwind
  6. libsgx_alloc
  7. libsgx_rand
  8. libsgx_serialize
  9. libsgx_tcrypto
  10. libsgx_tdh
  11. libsgx_tkey_exchange
  12. libsgx_tprotected_fs
  13. libsgx_trts
  14. libsgx_tse
  15. libsgx_tseal
  16. libsgx_tservice
  17. libsgx_tunittest
  18. libstd
  19. libstd_unicode
  20. libunwind

Rust SGX SDK v0.9.1 Release Notes

Support Intel SGX SDK 2.0 for Linux Intel released Intel SGX SDK 2.0 for Linux recently and we upgraded Rust SGX SDK to support it.

Support latest Rust nightly build (nightly-2017-11-29-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) We upgraded sgx_tstd to support the latest Rust nightly release. On Nov 9th, librand had been removed from libstd in this commit and we did the same change on sgx_tstd as well as some other minor changes.

Provide rusty-machine in Intel SGX We ported the most popular machine learning library rusty-machine to Intel SGX, along with its examples. Please refer to the Rust SGX version rusty-machine and the machine learning code samples for more details.

Rust SGX SDK v0.9.0 Release Notes

Almost there! Rust SGX SDK v0.9.0 is coming up as a beta version of the future v1.0.0, with the most desired sgx_tstd as well as many new features!

Support Crate porting. Porting existing Rust crates into the SGX world becomes possible. We have successfully ported several crates from Crates.io with little modifications. Please refer to the section 'Porting Rust Crates' for step-by-step instructions.

Support programming untrusted components in Rust. Now v0.9.0 provides sgx_urts for the untrusted world! One can write Rust codes to start and run an SGX enclave!

Support Serialization/deserialization . Passing structured data to the enclave is no longer a problem! Rust SGX SDK v0.9.0 comes with sgx_serialize, providing secure serialization and deserialization APIs!

Support stdin/stdout/stderr. Now macros like println! are available inside SGX enclave.

Support backtrace inside SGX enclaves. Stack backtrace inside an SGX enclave could be automatically dumped on panicking after enabling the backtrace mechanism.

Support unit tests. Now one can write unit tests with Rust style assertions. Please refer to the new crate sgx_tunittest.

Rust SGX SDK v0.9.0 supports up-to-date Rust nightly build (tested on rust version 1.22.0-nightly (3c96d40d3 2017-09-28)).

Welcome to report bugs, and we will fix them as soon as possible. Thanks for your contributions!

New Features

  • sgx_tstd (previously known as sgx_tstdc) is designed to act as std in SGX programming. Now sgx_tstd fully supports of any, ascii borrow, boxed, cell, char, clone, cmp, collections, convert, default, error, f32, f64, ffi, fmt, hash, i8, i16, i32, i64, io, isize, iter, marker, mem, num, ops, option, panic, prelude, ptr, rc, result, slice, str, string, u8, u16, u32, u64, usize, vec, heap, i128, intrinsics, raw, u128, and partially supports of fs, os, path, sync and thread. For details, please refer to the section 'Difference between sgx_tstd and Rust std'.
  • New supports in untrusted world include sgx_urts (e.g., untrusted run time), sgx_ustdio (e.g., helper functions of stdio) and sgx_ubacktrace (e.g., helper functions of backtrace).
  • Serialization/deserialization is supported by sgx_serialzie.
  • Rust style PRNG interface sgx_rand along with its Derive feature support.
  • Backtrace mechanism is provided by mod backtrace in sgx_tstd and sgx_ubacktrace + libbacktrace.
  • Adopting the new alloc_system through sgx_alloc.

New sample codes

In samplecode directory, we provide the following new code samples:

  • hello-rust is the helloworld sample written in pure Rust.
  • backtrace is a sample showing how to enabling backtrace mechanism inside the enclave.
  • file shows basic usage of SGX's new file system APIs.
  • unit-test shows the way of writing unit tests and conduct unit testing.
  • zlib-lazy-static-sample shows how to use ported third party crates inside enclave.

In third_party directory, we provide six crates ported from untrusted world.

  • inflate a simple implementation of inflate algorithm.
  • libflate a more complex implementation of inflate algorithm. It dependents on adler32-rs and byteorder.
  • lazy-static.rs a widely used crate for initializing static data structures.
  • yansi printing colorful characters on terminal.

Programming with sgx_tstd in enclave

std is the most important and fundamental crate in Rust. Due to Intel SGX's limitations, many features in Rust's std are incompatible with SGX, thus not all features of std are available in Intel SGX enclaves.

To offer a user-friendly and secure Rust environment in SGX, we implement sgx_tstd. It is very much similar to Rust's std and easy to use. Here is a sample usage:

In Cargo.toml of your project, add the following line to include sgx_tstd

[dependency]
sgx_tstd = { path = "path/to/sgx_tstd" }

And add the following lines in your lib.rs (use vec as an example here):

extern crate sgx_tstd as std;
use std::vec::Vec;

One can use sgx_tstd in the namespace of std and write Rust program as usual.

But sgx_tstd has its own limitations. We replace some Rust struct with SGX struct (e.g. Mutex now is SgxMutex). We rename some of these structs because the implementation of SgxMutex is vastly different from Rust's Mutex. And we want developers to be clear which mutex they are using.

Please refer to 'Difference between sgx_tstd and Rust std' for the detail of sgx_tstd.

Porting Rust Crates into the SGX world

The most important thing is that the trusted world is a no_std world. If you see linking errors such as f32 f64 panic_fmt is already defined in std, it means that you are linking the Rust's std to the enclave. This is absolutely wrong. You need to check every direct and indirect dependent crates to see if depends on std.

Here is a step-by-step instruction for porting crates to the SGX enclave. To be easy, we name the crate you want to port as 'root crate'.

  1. For each dependent crate of the root crate, check if it uses something like std::vec::Vec. Almost all crates use std.
  2. Download the source codes of the above identified dependent crates.
  3. Fix their Cargo.toml. In the dependency section, change the crate location to local file system ({ path = "path/to/lib" })
  4. Add sgx_tstd to Cargo.toml as a new dependency, e.g., sgx_tstd = { path = "path/to/sgx_tstd" }.
  5. Edit the source code of each lib.rs. Add #[no_std] at the beginning, after all #![] inner attributes.
  6. Add an extra statement: extern crate sgx_tstd as std to include sgx_tstd under the std namespace.
  7. Eliminate all of the references to unsupported mod/macro/feature of sgx_tstd.
  8. Compile.

Please look into third_party directory for porting samples.

Experimental new docker image

The latest Intel SGX SDK for linux v1.9 only supports protobuf v2. Protobuf v2 has a lot of known bugs and is out-of-date. We provide an experimental dev environment with the latest protobuf v3.4.1 and a patched Intel SGX SDK v1.9.

The docker image is on the docker hub now. Please use the following command to download it.

docker pull baiduxlab/sgx-rust-experimental

Misc issues and hacks

  • In Intel's SGX SDK, $(SGX_SDK)/lib64/libsgx_tprotected_fs.a and libsgx_uprotected_fs.a contains extra header files, which would probably cause linking problems. To resolve this, one should run the following commands to remove the header files:
ar d $(SGX_SDK)/lib64/libsgx_uprotected_fs.a sgx_tprotected_fs_u.h
ar d $(SGX_SDK)/lib64/libsgx_tprotected_fs.a sgx_tprotected_fs_t.h

In the docker environment, these two static libraries have been properly patched.

  • Linking error on multiple liblibc. Crate libc is not designed for #![no_std] environment. Though it provides features for no_std, it cannot be linked to SGX enclaves. To resolve this, one should remove one of the existing liblibc rlib. Based on our observations, the larger one is the correct one.

In our docker environment, the extra liblibc is removed.

Difference between sgx_tstd and Rust std

For now we support a subset of Rust's std in the trusted world. There is a full list of supported mods/macros in sgx_tstd

New stuffs in sgx_tstd

New mods in sgx_tstd : enclave, backtrace, cpuid and sync::spinlock.

New macros : global_ctors_object and cfg_if.
