sgx-pytorch remote attestation failed due to msg3 type not matched

mubashwir — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 01:19:05 GMT

I am trying to run SGX-Pytorch. https://github.com/intel/sgx-pytorch/tree/sgx

I successfully followed enclaves_op's instructions for setting up the environment. Prior to running a secure model in SGX, it is necessary to run "dkeycache" and perform remote attestation through "dkeyserver". However, I encountered an error during remote attestation where it indicated that msg3 was not matching.

Please note that the default remote attestation provided by SGX SDK works perfectly, and msg 3 was also successfully verified there. But for SGX-Pytorch, RA is not working.

Here are the logs:

dhar@SGX-server:~/temp/sgx-pytorch/enclave_ops/deployment/bin/dkeycache$ sudo ./dkeycache 
Connect dkeyserver success!

I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Hello Wan,

Do you have any updates from your side? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Mubashwir,

Apologies for the delay, we are working with the engineering team to resolve this issue. I will let you know when we have more information.

Sincerely,

Sahira

Hi Mubashwir,

Thank you for your patience while we are looking into this issue.

I noticed the "Verification quote_verification_result=0xa003" which means SGX_QL_QV_RESULT_OUT_OF_DATE_CONFIG_NEEDED, as shown here. The Quote is good but the TCB level of the platform is out of date. This could mean

Some part of the SGX TCB is out of date and needs to be updated
Some configuration is needed to fully mitigate certain Security Advisories (SAs) on this particular CPU.

We would recommend to run our DCAP Quote Generation and Quote Verification samples located here. The quote verifier sample will print out the list of SAs for your reference.

Furthermore, have you heard of Gramine? We would recommend you to look in Gramine for your PyTorch use cases. Here is the link for the repo.

Let us know if you have any questions. We are happy to assist you.

Regards,

Ken

Hello Ken,

Thanks for the reply.

A couple of things to know

1. As mentioned, TCB is out of date. Does that mean we need to update the firmware of SGX from BIOS? Is there any way I can do it remotely?

2. If I build dkeycache and dkeyserver in simulation mode, will the below command work in SGX PyTorch?

model = secure_mkldnn.to_secure_mkldnn(model)

3. I'll check out Gramaine. Thank you for the suggestion. I have a quick question: can Gramaine be used for SGX Pytorch scenarios?

Thanks,

Mubashwir

Hi Mubashwir,

Well, some part of SGX TCB is out of date and needs to be updated. It could be the BIOS loaded microcode, OS loaded microcode, certain Authenticated Code Modules (ACMs) included in the BIOS, or one of the SGX Architectural Enclaves (Quoting Enclave, Provisioning Certification Enclave). For the BIOS components, you need to make sure you have the latest BIOS on your platform and if is the latest, you may need to request a new one from your OEM.

Is there a reason you are using the SGX+PyTorch repo? Since it's outdated, it's not exactly fully supported anymore, that is why we recommend using Gramine or the PyTorch Curated App. Many customers are using it in production with PyTorch and other workloads, and it is fully supported:

Sincerely,

Sahira
