-# Project
+# Nimble: Rollback Protection for Confidential Cloud Services 
 
-> This repo has been populated by an initial template to help get you started. Please
-> make sure to update the content to build a great experience for community-building.
+Nimble is a service that helps applications running in trusted execution environments (TEEs) detect 
+rollback attacks (i.e., detect whether a data item retrieved from persistent storage is the latest version).
 
-As the maintainer of this project, please make a few updates:
+Nimble can also be used as a generic tamper-proof fault-tolerant append-only ledger.
 
-- Improving this README.MD file to provide a great experience
-- Updating SUPPORT.MD with content about this project's support experience
-- Understanding the security reporting process in SECURITY.MD
-- Remove this section from the README
+Nimble will appear at [OSDI 2023](https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi23).
+
+
+To reproduce the results in our paper, please follow the instructions below
+to build Nimble and then see [experiments/](experiments/).
+
+# Dependencies
+
+Install make, gcc, protobuf-copiler, perl, libssl-dev, pkg-config. In Ubuntu, you can type:
+
+```text
+sudo apt install make gcc libssl-dev pkg-config perl protobuf-compiler
+```
+
+## Building and running tests
+
+Install [`rustup`](https://rustup.rs/)
+
+Clone the repository:
+
+```text
+git clone https://github.com/MSRSSP/Nimble
+```
+
+To run tests:
+
+```text
+cargo test
+```
+
+To build:
+
+```text
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+Optional: to build the Nimble endorser that runs in Intel SGX with open enclave, please folow the instructions [here](endorser-openenclave/).
+
+
+Running a toy local setup with 2 endorsers, coordinator, REST endpoint, and sample REST client.
+Run each on a different terminal.
+
+
+  ```bash
+    ./target/release/endorser -p 9090
+    ./target/release/endorser -p 9091 
+    ./target/release/coordinator -e "http://localhost:9090,http://localhost:9091" 
+    ./target/release/endpoint_rest
+    ./target/release/light_client_rest
+  ```
+
+
+## Details of Nimble's Rust binaries
+
+Below are the different Nimble binaries, and some of the basic
+options. Each binary has many other options. You can see them by
+running the binary and with the `--help` flag.
+
+
+# Endorser
+
+```
+  ./target/release/endorser
+    -t HOSTNAME
+    -p PORT 
+```
+
+# Coordinator
+
+```
+  ./target/release/coordinator
+    -h HOSTNAME
+    -p PORT
+    -e "http://HOST_ENDORSER_1:PORT,http://HOST_ENDORSER_2:PORT,http://HOST_ENDORSER_3:PORT" 
+    -s "memory" # use "table" to use Azure table instead and provide the following
+    -a AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME
+    -k AZURE_STORAGE_MASTER_KEY
+```
+
+Below is a helper tool to interact with the coordinator. After you
+kill some endorsers, you can add new ones (reconfiguration) by running.
+
+```
+  ./target/release/coordinator_ctrl 
+    -c "http://HOST_COORDINATOR:PORT" 
+    -a "http://HOST_NEW_ENDORSER_1:PORT;http://HOST_NEW_ENDORSER_2:PORT"
+```
+
+# REST Endpoint
+
+```
+  ./target/release/endpoint_rest
+    -t HOST
+    -p PORT
+    -c "http://HOST_COORDINATOR:PORT"
+```
+
+
+# REST Client 
+
+```
+  ./target/release/endpoint_rest
+    -e "http://HOST_ENDPOINT:PORT"
+```
