Chaincode wrapper (ecc)

Before your continue here make sure you have build ecc_enclave before. We refer to ecc_enclave/README.md. Otherwise, the build might fail with the message ecc_enclave build does not exist!.

This is a go chaincode that is used to invoke the enclave (and hence FPC chaincode). The chaincode logic is implemented in C++ as enclave code and is loaded by by the go chaincode as C library (ecc/enclave/lib/enclave.signed.so). For more details on the chaincode implementation see ecc_enclave.

The FPC chaincode can be run in two modes, as a normal chaincode (where the lifecycle of the chaincode is controlled by the peer) and as chaincode-as-a-service. See more details below.

Normal mode

The chaincode will start in that mode if neither of the environment variables CHAINCODE_PKG_ID and CHAINCODE_SERVER_ADDRESS are defined.

It also requires that the peer's core.yaml defines the FPC CaaS external builder scripts as follows:

...
externalBuilders:
    - path: ${FPC_PATH}/fabric/externalBuilder/chaincode
      name: fpc-c
      propagateEnvironment:
          - FPC_HOSTING_MODE
          - FABRIC_LOGGING_SPEC
          - ftp_proxy
          - http_proxy
          - https_proxy
          - no_proxy
...

Chaincode-as-a-Service mode

The chaincode will start in CaaS mode if the environment variables CHAINCODE_PKG_ID and CHAINCODE_SERVER_ADDRESS are defined.

It also requires that the peer's core.yaml defines the FPC CaaS external builder scripts as follows:

...
externalBuilders:
- path: ${FPC_PATH}/fabric/externalBuilder/chaincode_server
  name: fpc-external-launcher
  propagateEnvironment:
    - CORE_PEER_ID
    - FABRIC_LOGGING_SPEC
