Description

At some point we need to start signing enclaves with our production SGX keys. This isn't too difficult in theory, however the fortanix tooling (sgxs-sign) does not support signatures with a HSM.

As it is unacceptable to be carting around our signing key as a PEM file, this likely will require extending the tooling or writing our own.

Estimated cost: 1 sprint

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the release-enclave signing flow and the Fortanix sgxs-sign integration, then determine whether extending that tooling or building an alternative is feasible. Done means production SGX enclave signing works with an HSM without exposing the signing key as a PEM file.
