This sample demonstrates how to execute Remote Attestation on SGX with [librats](https://github.com/inclavare-containers/librats) and run it with iwasm. It can only build on [SGX supported processors](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000028173/processors.html), please check it.
Before starting, we need to download and install [SGX SDK](https://download.01.org/intel-sgx/latest/linux-latest/distro) and [SGX DCAP Library](https://download.01.org/intel-sgx/latest/dcap-latest) referring to this [guide](https://download.01.org/intel-sgx/sgx-dcap/1.8/linux/docs/Intel_SGX_DCAP_Linux_SW_Installation_Guide.pdf).
The following commands are an example of the SGX environment installation on Ubuntu 18.04.
You can optionally grant users to communicate with the SDK platform using the following command.
Otherwise, enclaves must be launched with root privileges.
```shell
sudo usermod -a -G sgx_prv <username>
```
### Intel Provisioning Certification Service (Intel PCS)
Intel DCAP connects to Intel PCS to download the attestation collateral for SGX-enabled machines.
Intel provides a [quick install guide](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/guide/intel-software-guard-extensions-data-center-attestation-primitives-quick-install-guide.html) to set up a simplified environment.
This section summarizes the commands to issue for setting up a working environment on Ubuntu 18.04.
### Subscribe to Intel PCS Web services
Intel SGX DCAP requires a complimentary subscription to the Intel PCS.
To subscribe to the service, browse the [Intel SGX Software Services](https://api.portal.trustedservices.intel.com/) page.
A the end of the subscription process, save the primary and the secondary keys.
### Set up the Intel Provisioning Certification Caching Service (Intel PCCS)
Intel PCCS is a caching mechanism for attestation collateral, preventing continuously communicating with Intel PCS during attestation.
Intel provides an implementation of the cache mechanism.
Set the PCCS service to accept local connections only? [Y] (Y/N)
```
Answer "N" to this question. We want the PCCS service to accept connections from other systems.
```
Set your Intel PCS API key (Press ENTER to skip)
```
Enter either your primary or secondary key retrieved from the previous subsection.
If you already subscribed, you can retrieve them [here](https://api.portal.trustedservices.intel.com/developer).
```
Choose caching fill method : [LAZY] (LAZY/OFFLINE/REQ)
```
Answer "REQ" to this question. This places the caching service in the "on request" mode, which means it will fetch the attestation collateral for hosts as provisioning requests are received.
```
Set PCCS server administrator password:
Re-enter administrator password:
Set PCCS server user password:
Re-enter user password:
```
Enter two passwords for the PCCS server.
```
Do you want to generate insecure HTTPS key and cert for PCCS service? [Y] (Y/N)
```
Answer "Y" to this question.
### Provisioning a system into Intel PCCS
Now that the PCCS is up and running, it's time to provision an Intel SGX-enabled platform.
We use the tool `PCKIDRetrievalTool` to get the attestation collateral of the current machine.
Adapt the configuration file of `PCKIDRetrievalTool` located in `/opt/intel/sgx-pck-id-retrieval-tool/network_setting.conf` and make the following changes:
- Change the **PCCS_URL** to match your caching service's location.
- Uncomment the **user_token** parameter, and set it to the user password you created when configuring the PCCS.
- Set the **proxy_type** to fit your environment (most likely, this will be `direct`)
- Ensure **USE_SECURE_CERT** is set to `FALSE` since we're using a self-signed certificate for testing purposes.
Save your changes and run the provisioning tool.
```shell
$ PCKIDRetrievalTool
Intel(R) Software Guard Extensions PCK Cert ID Retrieval Tool Version 1.14.100.3
the data has been sent to cache server successfully and pckid_retrieval.csv has been generated successfully!
```
You may get some warnings during this execution of the tool.
A correct insertion into the cache server usually means the retrieval of the attestation collateral worked.
Execute the following command to verify the collateral could be stored in your instance of Intel PCCS:
The sample will print the evidence in JSON and the message: *Evidence is trusted.*
