WordPress (WP, WordPress.org) is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) written in PHP[4] and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to within WordPress as Themes. WordPress was originally created as a blog-publishing system but has evolved to support other web content types including more traditional mailing lists and forums, media galleries, membership sites, learning management systems (LMS) and online stores. One of the most popular content management system solutions in use, WordPress is used by 42.8% of the top 10 million websites as of October 2021.
Intel Security Guard Extension (SGX) delivers advanced hardware and RAM security encryption features, so called enclaves, in order to isolate code and data that are specific to each application. When data and application code run in an enclave additional security, privacy and trust guarantees are given, making the container an ideal choice for (untrusted) cloud environments.
Application code executing within an Intel SGX enclave:
- Remains protected even when the BIOS, VMM, OS, and drivers are compromised, implying that an attacker with full execution control over the platform can be kept at bay
- Benefits from memory protections that thwart memory bus snooping, memory tampering and “cold boot” attacks on images retained in RAM
- At no moment in time data, program code and protocol messages are leaked or de-anonymized
- Reduces the trusted computing base of its parent application to the smallest possible footprint
Following benefits come for free with WORDPRESS-SGX :
- WORDPRESS-SGX provides a significantly reduced attack surface thanks to hardware-based memory protection. At any moment in time, the microservices in the confindential containers processing the data, storing data in the SQL database and forwarding the data to other microservices are protected. Neither enclaive nor the hosting provider can inspect the data.
- Hardened security against kernel-space exploits, malicious and accidental privilege insider attacks, UEFI firmware exploits and other "root" attacks using the corruption of the application to infiltrate your network and system
- Run on any hosting environment irrespectivably of geo-location and comply with privacy export regulation, such as Schrems-II
- GDPR/CCPA compliant processing ("data in use") of user data in the cloud as data is anonymized thanks to the enclave
- Last, but not least "Small step for a dev, giant leap for a zero-trust infrastructure"
The following cloud infrastractures are SGX-ready out of the box
Confidential compute is a fast growing space. Cloud providers continiously add confidential compute capabilities to their portfolio. Please contact us if the infrastracture provider of your preferred choice is missing.
Check for Intel Security Guard Extension (SGX) presence by running the following
grep sgx /proc/cpuinfo
Alternatively have a thorough look at Intel's processor list. (We remark that macbooks with CPUs transitioned to Intel are unlikely supported. If you find a configuration, please contact us.)
Note that in addition to SGX the hardware module must support FSGSBASE. FSGSBASE is an architecture extension that allows applications to directly write to the FS and GS segment registers. This allows fast switching to different threads in user applications, as well as providing an additional address register for application use. If your kernel version is 5.9 or higher, then the FSGSBASE feature is already supported and you can skip this step.
There are several options to proceed
-
If: No SGX-ready hardware
Azure Confidential Compute cloud offers VMs with SGX support. Prices are fair and have been recently reduced to support the developer community. First-time users get $200 USD free credit. Other cloud provider like OVH or Alibaba cloud have similar offerings. -
Elif: Virtualization
Ubuntu 21.04 (Kernel 5.11) provides the driver off-the-shelf. Read the release. Go to download page. -
Elif: Kernel 5.9 or higher
Install the DCAP drivers from the Intel SGX reposudo apt update sudo apt -y install dkms wget https://download.01.org/intel-sgx/sgx-linux/2.13.3/linux/distro/ubuntu20.04-server/sgx_linux_x64_driver_1.41.bin -O sgx_linux_x64_driver.bin chmod +x sgx_linux_x64_driver.bin sudo ./sgx_linux_x64_driver.bin sudo apt -y install clang-10 libssl-dev gdb libsgx-enclave-common libsgx-quote-ex libprotobuf17 libsgx-dcap-ql libsgx-dcap-ql-dev az-dcap-client open-enclave
-
Else: Kernel older than version 5.9
Upgrade to Kernel 5.11 or higher. Follow the instructions here.
The recommended way to get the enclaive WORDPRESS-SGX Open Source Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.
docker pull enclaive/wordpress-sgx:latestTo use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.
docker pull enclaive/wordpress-sgx:[TAG]If you wish, you can also build the image yourself.
docker build -t enclaive/wordpress-sgx:latest 'https://github.com/enclaive/enclaive-docker-wordpress-sgx.git#master'Important: WORDPRESS-SGX runs in an enclave turning the application into an in-memory, fully encrypted process. Persistance is thus not guaranteed. Any changes made through the WordPress admin interface are lost when the enclave is stopped. For production usage we strongly advise to take additional measures to keep track of changes, be it through a CI/CD pipeline or be it thorugh the in-build Akeeba backup plugin.
Build a non-enclaved staging pipeline where changes are persistance. Create a production pipeline importing the state changes, build and deploy the enclaved production version.
The Akeeba plugin helps to backup and restore a WordPress site including the database. This makes the migration from WordPress to WordPress-SGX as easy as possible, if you are not familiar with pipelines.
Please visit Akeeba download site and install the plugin to your current WP instance. Akeeba provides documentation and a video tutorial on youtube.
To transfer your website into the WORDPRESS-SGX instance, follow these instructions:
Before you create a backup you need to change the type of the backup file. At the current development state, WORDPRESS-SGX supports zip files only. Change the default jpa file type to zip in the configuration. Click on Akeeba Backup in the navigation tree in the admin page. Click on the Configuration Button in the Main Operations block. Search for Archiver Engine and choose ZIP format. Don’t forget to scroll up to save your change. Please don’t set a password for the backup file.
Next create a backup file by clicking on the Backup Now button. When the backup is done click on the Manage Backups button. Download the backup file and rename it to backup.zip.
Move the backup.zip file into the root folder of this git repository and run the command docker compose up. After the docker is up and running you can visit your page in the browser and explore your page on a enclaved docker container.
