Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for protecting data. An example method includes creating an outer cluster on one or more host machines coupled to a network. The outer cluster includes a plurality of outer nodes. The method also includes creating an enclave cluster on the outer cluster. The enclave cluster includes a plurality of inner nodes, and each inner node of the plurality of inner nodes executes within an enclave of the one or more host machines. The method further includes exposing an application programming interface (API) to the outer cluster, where invocation of the API causes at least one inner node of the enclave cluster to perform an operation on data. The method also includes performing, by an inner node of the enclave cluster, the operation on the data in response to invocation of the API by an outer node of the outer cluster.
