Abstract—

This paper investigates the problem of ensuring secure input/output operations in the Intel SGX technology. The problem is extremely urgent, and its solution will make it possible to protect confidential user data from attacks from different malicious software while finding data outside the enclave. The authors present different methods for solving the posed problem developed by them. The complexity of the practical application of these methods as well as their main disadvantages and advantages are analyzed. The most preferred method which ensures secure storage and processing of data outside the enclave is also chosen.
