Flask TLS demo on Occlum

This project demonstrates how Occlum enables unmodified Python program flask running in SGX enclaves, which is based on glibc.

Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework. It is designed to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to complex applications.

Sample Code: Flask TLS demo in Python

To make the sample code more realistic, we choose to start a simple Flask TLS server by flask-restful. The sample code can be found here.

How to Run

This tutorial is written under the assumption that you have Docker installed and use Occlum in a Docker container.

Step 1: Download miniconda and install python to prefix position.

bash ./install_python_with_conda.sh

Step 2: Generate sample cert/key

bash ./gen-cert.sh

Step 3: Build Flask TLS Occlum instance

bash ./build_occlum_instance.sh

Step 4: Start the Flask TLS server on Occlum

bash ./run_flask_on_occlum.sh

It starts a sample Flask server like below:

occlum run /bin/rest_api.py
 * Serving Flask app "rest_api" (lazy loading)
 * Environment: production
   WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment.
   Use a production WSGI server instead.
 * Debug mode: off
 * Running on all addresses.
   WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment.
 * Running on https://localhost:4996/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

Step 5: Write some customers' info, such as

# curl --cacert flask.crt -X PUT https://localhost:4996/customer/1 -d "data=Tom"
# curl --cacert flask.crt -X PUT https://localhost:4996/customer/2 -d "data=Jerry"

Step 6: Read the customers' info back

# curl --cacert flask.crt -X GET https://localhost:4996/customer/1
# curl --cacert flask.crt -X GET https://localhost:4996/customer/2
