January 1, 2021 · Mingshen Sun

# Teaclave

Teaclave is a universal secure computing platform.

Teaclave has been incubating since 2019-08-20.

# Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

  1. Improve project structure and documentation
  2. Grow the community (attracting more committers, contributors, users)
  3. Publish more Apache releases

# Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

None.

# How has the community developed since the last report?

  • We received contributions from a new external contributor.
  • We found a new project using Teaclave SGX SDK called Veracruz, which is a framework for defining and deploying collaborative, privacy-preserving computations amongst a group of mutually mistrusting individuals.
  • We summarized the community and projects powered by Teaclave and published a blog on our homepage.
  • Rust TrustZone SDK will be accepted in Teaclave as a subproject. The community is discussing and voting the acceptance.
  • The community has accepted a new committer.

# How has the project developed since the last report?

  • Add PCA function in the builtin executor.
  • Add exposed password checking function in the builtin executor.
  • Add the attestation subcommand to display attestation report form the Intel attestation service.
  • Add document to support deploying on Azure confidential computing VM.

Apache Teaclave (incubating) is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
