Post Skylake we will have a set of MSRs for defining your own root of trust: IA32_SGXLEPUBKEYHASH. Andy had a concern that you could set root of trust multiple times, which could lead to potential attack scenarios. These MSRs are one-shot. ENCLS will fail if the launch control is locked. There's no possiblity to have a root of trust that is unlocked. > Thanks, > > Ingo /Jarkko -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
