Dear admin,
I would like to getting Sgx up and running as a web server. But it seems there is no solid C++ web framework, so I am thinking to use Python as App Layer and C++ as Enclave Layer.
Is it possible?
Is there something I should be aware of ?
Thanks
Yan

Hello JarodEnclave,
Your untrusted application can be a thin translation layer to your enclave. Your front-end python code can call functions in your C++-based untrusted app and your untrusted app can call the enclave functions.
Alternatively, you can implement your entire solution in Python if you want. There are several 3rd party solutions that enable you to write native python (and other languages) code and run it within an SGX-protected environment. These 3rd party solutions mostly come in the form of lightweight runtime environments, OSes, or libraries.
Since Intel does not produce these solutions, support for those projects may be provided by the third-parties and their communities. When researching these projects, note that some of them are outdated and may no longer function without modification.
The easiest way to run your python scripts is to use Gramine (formerly known as Graphene) to run your programs in an SGX-protected environment.
“Gramine (formerly called Graphene) is a lightweight library OS, designed to run a single application with minimal host requirements. Gramine can run applications in an isolated environment with benefits comparable to running a complete OS in a virtual machine -- including guest customization, ease of porting to different OSes, and process migration.
Gramine supports native, unmodified Linux binaries on any platform. Currently, Gramine runs on Linux and Intel SGX enclaves on Linux platforms.”
These examples will help you get started running your code on Gramine, protected by SGX:
Other solutions include Fortanix Runtime Encryption® platform, Scontain’s Scone - Secure Container Environment, and Baidu’s MesaTEE. Baidu’s MesaPy lets you write directly in Python, as does Profian’s Enarx product, as it compiles to WebAssembly (as does some other languages). Fortanix and Scone are products that must be purchased.
