> I think Intel's SGX is a better solution for hardware-supported software isolation, but it still isn't widespread and has a number of weaknesses.

It's not really usable at all right now, but I'm cautiously optimistic that a version of Linux coming soon will support it on a CPU coming eventually.

(The relevant CPU feature is IA32_SGXLEPUBKEYHASH. Until that feature is available, SGX is every bit as worthlessly locked down as the worst GlobalPlatform gadgets IMO.)

Kaby Lake does not appear to have this feature.
