PPML Installation


OS requirement

.. note::
    **Hardware requirements**:

     Intel SGX: PPML's features (except Homomorphic Encryption) are mainly built upon Intel SGX. Intel SGX requires Intel CPU with SGX feature, e.g., IceLake (3rd Xeon Platform). `Check if your CPU has SGX feature <https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000028173/processors.html>`_
.. note::
    **Supported OS**:

     PPML is thoroughly tested on Ubuntu (18.04/20.04), and should works fine on CentOS/Redhat 8.

Enable SGX for your Cluster

FAQs

  1. Is SGX supported on CentOS 6/7? No. Please upgrade your OS if possible.

  2. Do we need Internet connection for SGX node? No. We can use PCCS for registration and certificates downloading. Only PCCS need Internet connection.

  3. Does PCCS requires SGX? No. PCCS can be installed on any server with Internet connection.

  4. Can we turn off attestation? Of course. But, urnning off attestation will break integrity provided by SGX. Attestation is turned off to simplify installation for quick start.
