2020-03-24 DCAP attestation

Date

Goals
To look in to how to use the datacenter attestation primitives

Discussion items
A presentation on DCAP attestation primitives for Intel SGX TEEs with Avalon (Proxy Model) by Mr. Dan Middleton from Intel, covering the following topics

  • Basics of attestation
  • Use the lab to demonstrate creating an attestation at one CSP
  • and then verifying it in a (virtual) on-prem datacenter

The attestation flow enables more distributed communication patterns than what we have today.

The added flexibility also means there are a lot of possible paths to choose which can seem confusing.

In order to get started, here's a lab that chooses one concrete path.
