Baidu Launches a Privacy-Enhanced Solution to Enable Security-Critical Services in the Public Cloud
September 10 2018 - 11:47AM
Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:
BIDU) today announced the
launch of MesaTEE, a memory safe Function as a Service (FaaS)
computing framework – the most recent innovation based on Intel®
SGX. This solution enables security sensitive services like
banking, autonomous driving and healthcare to more securely process
their data on critical platforms, such as public cloud and
blockchain.
“MesaTEE combines the power of the Baidu HMS model and Intel®
SGX to provide a breakthrough solution to expand the trust boundary
of the Internet,” said Tao Wei, chief security scientist at Baidu.
“The Baidu HMS model has revolutionized memory safety for systems
at the software architecture level. Intel® SGX, meanwhile,
dramatically shortens the trust chain of computing and makes
trusted dependencies more simplified, reliable, and secure.
Together, MesaTEE provides the foundation for incubating
next-generation blockchains, privacy-enhanced cloud computing, and
other new Internet services.”
As more industries embrace cloud services, there is a growing
need for security measurements. However, current FaaS solutions
cannot ensure the integrity and confidentiality of code and data in
the cloud. MesaTEE is a complete solution that enables this level
of security for critical services. MesaTEE leverages the hardware
assisted Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) provided by Intel® SGX
to reduce privacy risks to users’ operations and data in the cloud.
In addition to this, the software allows users to remotely attest
and measure the environment, ensuring that the remote execution is
exactly what they expect. More importantly, MesaTEE is equipped
with HMS and Non-bypassable Security, making it able to withstand
most exploits.
MesaTEE provides unique advantages to users including allowing
them to establish trusted and encrypted end-to-end channels between
clients and cloud, or across cloud instances. Additionally, it
supports WASM/Python executions in SGX TEE, significantly
increasing the system’s flexibility and compatibility. MesaTEE is
fully compatible with existing FaaS models, where users only need
to supply Rust/WASM/Python functions that handle events and data
they operate on.
