Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) provides a trusted execution environment (TEE) to run code and operate sensitive data. SGX provides runtime hardware protection where both code and data are protected even if other code components are malicious. However, recently many attacks targeting SGX have been identified and introduced that can thwart the hardware defence provided by SGX. In this paper we present a survey of all attacks specifically targeting Intel SGX that are known to the authors, to date. We categorized the attacks based on their implementation details into 7 different categories. We also look into the available defence mechanisms against identified attacks and categorize the available types of mitigations for each presented attack.

  1. KeyDroid: A Large-Scale Analysis of Secure Key Storage in Android Apps

    cs.CR 2025-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Most Android apps that collect sensitive data still rely on software key storage, and the first large-scale benchmarks show secure-element key operations are far too slow for anything but small payloads.
