<i>It uses trusted hardware to authenticate and scrape data from HTTPS-enabled websites</i><p>It claims to do this using SGX. However, it uses a <i>&quot;Relay&quot;</i> - a non-SGX process - to pass network data into the SGX enclave.<p>To me that seems to make the claim of trustworthiness (in the &quot;trustworthy computing&quot; sense) questionable.<p>I&#x27;m not overly familiar with SGX and I&#x27;ve only scanned through this proposal, but I&#x27;d love someone more knowledgeable to expand my understanding.<p>It seems to me that the entire stack needs to be running in the SGX-enclave for it to gain the complete benefits?<p>Nevertheless, I think this is pretty interesting.

The interesting thing here wont be the tech, but the business model and regulatory framework.
