See: https://github.com/ayeks/TresorSGX

quote:
TresorSGX is an exemplary implementation in the scope of full disk encryption. The TresorSGX LKM registers a new cipher within the crypto API of the Linux kernel which can then be used by dm-crypt. The encryption algorithm used for full disk encryption is implemented within an enclave, and thus it is guaranteed that the implementation cannot be tampered with. The key used for disk encryption is securely derived within the enclave from a password chosen by the user and a device specific salt. The user password can be entered with the help of a tool which communicates with the daemon directly in user mode and the salt is stored sealed to the enclave identity. Consequently, it cannot be unsealed on a different device
