Yes, I shouldn't have conflated Asylo and SGX (or TEEs in general – where SGX is now dominant for the remote attestation model). The concern was with SGX, maybe even specifically to it being used together with other TEEs for ubiquitous DRM on consumer devices. Asylo could indeed drive competition in the case of remote attestation.

Would I need a commercial Intel license to use it for Intel SGX? I ask because they don't seem to hand out the licenses to everyone. https://software.intel.com/en-us/sgx/commercial-use-license-... https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-software-guard...
