Writing Confidential Computing Apps with Go requires two things:

1. A Go runtime that runs inside the Confidential/SGX enclave

Two approaches exist here:

Generic LibraryOS (the intermediate between process- and vm-based enclaves)

Go SDKs and runtimes: While several runtimes for SGX exists to my knowledge only EGo supports Go.


2. An SGX API for Go (for remote attestation, sealing, etc. directly from Go)

The LibraryOS's have their own API and might support Go bindings in the future, but when writing this you'd still need to write your own Go bindings in C/C++.

The ertgolib that goes together with the ertruntime provides a fully functional API layer that exposes most of the OpenEnclave/SGX functionalities directly to Go
