Golem was cool, but I don't understand their strategy now that secure enclaves have been shown to be vulnerable to side-channel attacks.
Secure enclaves feel like bait to build systems that are overly reliant on questionable hardware.
- AgentME 7y agoI haven't followed Golem or processor news closely, but I assume a future generation of processors will fix the side-channel attacks (either in general or at least just for secure enclaves), so I think it still makes a lot of sense to build something for secure enclaves for the future.
- solidasparagus 7y agoI don't disagree, but side-channel attacks have shown that hardware security isn't guaranteed and, maybe more importantly, there are unbelievably painful to patch.
