QingTian Enclave Concepts

Updated on 2024-10-18 GMT+08:00
  • QingTian Enclave instance

    QingTian Enclave instances are completely independent VMs whose vCPUs and memory all come from the parent instance. QingTian Enclave instances have no external networking or persistent storage. Resources in the QingTian Enclave instances cannot be accessed by the processes, applications, kernel, or users of the parent instance.

  • Parent instance

    The parent instance is an ECS instance that is used to allocate its vCPUs and memory to QingTian Enclave instances. These resources can be used during the lifetime of the QingTian Enclave instances. QingTian Enclave instances can only communicate with the parent instance after they are successfully launched.

  • QingTian Enclave image file

    A QingTian Enclave image file (.eif) provides system information required for launching a QingTian Enclave instance and running QingTian Enclave applications in the instance, including a Linux operating system, other third-party libraries, and QingTian Enclave applications. For details about image creation, see QingTian Enclave Application Development on Linux.

  • QingTian CLI

    QingTian CLI (qt CLI) is a command line tool that can be used to create, terminate, and query QingTian Enclave instances. The qt CLI must be installed and used on the parent instance. For details, see QingTian CLI (qt CLI).

  • Enclave SDK

    The Enclave SDK consists of a series of open-source libraries to develop your QingTian Enclave applications. Enclave SDK integrates APIs for interacting with Huawei Cloud KMS, such as encryption, decryption, and random number generation, and provides built-in support for remote attestation.

  • QingTian cryptographic attestation

    QingTian cryptographic attestation is a process during which a QingTian Enclave instance proves its identity when interacting with the KMS service. Attestation is completed using a signed attestation document generated by the QingTian Hypervisor. Information contained in a QingTian Enclave attestation document can be used as a condition for third-party service authentication. You can use kms:RecipientAttestation-related condition keys in IAM to control access to specific KMS APIs, such as APIs for random number generation, encryption, and decryption.

  • Attestation document

    An attestation document is generated and signed by the QingTian Hypervisor. The document contains QingTian Enclave information, including platform configuration registers (PCRs), cryptographic digest, and user statement. External services can use attestation documents to verify the identity of QingTian Enclave instances to establish trust. You can use attestation documents to build your own trustworthy system and interact with KMS. For details, see Attestation Document.

  • qt-proxy

    The qt-proxy is a network proxy service running on the parent instance. The qt-proxy enables the parent instance to forward network packets from the QingTian Enclave instances so that the instances can communicate with external networks. This is the only way for QingTian Enclave instances to communicate with external services.

  • PCR

    Platform configuration registers (PCRs) are cryptographic measurements that are unique to QingTian Enclave instances. Some PCRs are automatically generated when QingTian Enclave instances are created, and they can be used to verify the QingTian Enclave instance integrity since it was created. You can also manually create other PCRs that can be used to ensure that the QingTian Enclave instance is running on your expected platform. In addition, several PCRs included in attestation documents can be used to create condition keys of IAM access control policies for stronger access control. For details, see PCR.

  • Local Vsock Connection

    The Local Vsock Connection is the only secure local channel between QingTian Enclave instances and the parent instance.

  • QingTian Security Module

    The QingTian Security Module (QTSM) consists of the qtsm-lib function library and qtsm-server service. You can call the qtsm-lib user-mode APIs in your QingTian Enclave applications, and the qtsm-server will process specific QTSM requests and returns messages. The qtsm-lib user-mode APIs can be used to query the PCR value of a specified index (qtsm_describe_pcr), extend the PCR value of a specified index (qtsm_extend_pcr), lock the PCR value of a specified index (qtsm_lock_pcr), lock the PCR values of specified indexes in batches (qtsm_lock_pcrs), obtain the QTSM information (qtsm_get_describe), and obtain the attestation document (qtsm_get_attestation).
