Hello!
Is it possible to run sgx enclave from dll? I have got an .exe application (untrusted module ) that call sgx_create_enclave() and also can call functions from the enclave. But I want to put this untrusted module in different process as dll (so I want this structure: dll (untrusted module) runs dll (enclave)). But it isn't work now... The thread with my LoadLibrary frozes on sgx_create_enclave()

Hello Nadia,

 

I was able to create an untrusted dll, that interfaces with the enclave, and linked the unstrusted dll with a regular console app and it all worked. I did not use LoadLibrary. Attached are the solution files for your reference. I used absolute paths in the Properties so you will have to modify them.

 

The Untrusted solution contains the Untrusted DLL project and the SGXSDK/SampleEnclave/Enclave project.

Make sure to copy your untrusted dll and enclave.signed.dll to the same location as hello.exe. Set the Debugging/Working Directory to $(OutDir).

I copied the contents from SampleEnclave/app.cpp to Untrusted/dllmain.cpp.

 

Good luck!

Hello nadia111,


Please describe how you setup the Visual Studio solution for your three projects: the main untrusted executable app, the untrusted dll, and the enclave dll.


Provide:

Screenshots of project properties for C/C++ and Linker.

Hello,

Sure. "hello" project is a project with a printing string. In hello.exe I want to inject sgxConsoleApplication.dll (right side). I do injection of sgxConsoleApplication.dll to hello.exe with LoadLibrary.
