Who’s using bors?

This month’s featured user is the Open Enclave SDK.

An “Enclave”, in this context, can run on your computer without any other software, not even the operating system, eavesdropping. This is (usually) accomplished by having the CPU store an encryption key somewhere that the OS can’t get to it, and encrypting the enclave memory using it.

The Open Enclave SDK is a library that wraps the CPU-specific instructions in a common interface that applications can use to create and run portable Enclaves.

Got any suggestions for next month? Post a comment on the February pull request.
