TL;DR: A recent line of research explores innovative controlled-channel attacks mounted by untrusted system software to partially compromise the confidentiality of enclave programs.
Abstract: Enclaved execution environments, such as Intel SGX, enable secure, hardware-enforced isolated execution of critical application components without having to trust the underlying operating system or hypervisor. A recent line of research, however, explores innovative controlled-channel attacks mounted by untrusted system software to partially compromise the confidentiality of enclave programs. Apart from exploiting relatively well-known side-channels like the CPU cache and branch predictor, these attacks have so far focused on tracking side-effects from enclaved address translations via the paging unit.
