If you are a reverse engineer who expects to be infected with malware performing secret computations and which does not run privileged and while you have no access to log the infection vector (network, etc) then SGX might not be a great idea because you wouldn't be able to analyze the malware (but you would know it exists and know what overt actions it takes on your computer). Otherwise, you have absolutely nothing to worry about and SGX is harmless. | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 0:20 | comment | added | forest | A threat model is an abstract model of a person's adversaries, the assets the adversaries are attempting to compromise, and various other salient factors. For example, SGX, as Steffen Ullrich says, makes it possible for malware to hide its exact computations, but it does not allow someone to escalate privileges. | |
