Hi, I encountered some problems while implementing your framework in hardware with the CovidNet example that you provide. Do you think of anything I forgot?

Hey there!

I see you are providing the device isgx to the docker run, and then sgx_provision. Do you have sgx_enclave inside your /dev/ folder? isgx is for the first version of sgx, unsupported by BlindAI.

Thank you for your reply. No I don't, that's why I used isgx

Got it. In that case, this is the reason you have this error. SGX1 (without Flexible Launch Control) does not implement security features we rely on, this is why we cannot support it. If you want to try on the hardware mode anyway, I would suggest to try on an Azure Confidential Computing VM. You can try for free and get started quickly. You can find here a tutorial on how to get started quickly: https://docs.mithrilsecurity.io/getting-started/cloud-deployment/azure-dcsv2

Alright, thank you very much!
