Intel SGX

Intel SGX (Software Guard Extensions) is a security feature that creates protected areas within a computer's processor, called "enclaves." These enclaves safeguard sensitive data and code from outside access, including the operating system and other software, ensuring confidential information remains secure even if the system is compromised. SGX is used to enhance privacy and security for applications like financial transactions, health records, and secure communications, allowing trusted code to run safely in an isolated environment.
