Revise Spark written in Rust (Native Spark or Vega) to a secure one

Primary LanguageRust

FLARE

Overview

This is the secure version of Native Spark, or Vega(https://github.com/rajasekarv/vega). It contains two modes: encryption mode and oblivious mode. You can switch the mode by switching to the expected branch.

Infrastructure

It contains two submodules named flare-core-untrusted, which is the focus to modify, and incubator-teaclave-sgx-sdk, the Rust SGX SDK developed by Baidu X Lab. flare-core-untrusted has one branch master, which is modified by me based on master branch of Vega repo.

Setup Environment

Install rust toolchain in the leader node

Please refer to https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install. It's recommended to use rustup for management.

Install Intel SGX toolchain

We require Intel SGX SDK 2.14.

Tasks will not run on the master node, and all the tasks run on worker nodes. So, SGX toolchain (Driver, PSW, SDK) needs to be installed on worker nodes, while SDK needs to be installed on the leader node for compiling the code. All are installed in /opt/intel/.

Config for Spark

Checkout the secure branch of native spark first.

Please refer to https://rajasekarv.github.io/vega/ for Getting started part and Executing an application part.

Compile

Just type make
