Intel SGX (Software Guard Extensions)

Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) is a technology that allows applications to run code and process data in isolated, secure areas of memory, called enclaves. This ensures that sensitive information, like passwords or personal data, is protected from unauthorized access, even from the operating system itself. By creating these secure spaces, SGX helps enhance privacy and security, particularly for cloud computing and applications that handle sensitive information. It aims to ensure that even if a device is compromised, the protected data remains safe and confidential.
