Swift SDK

Swift SDK for Tinfoil’s secure AI inference API
GitHub: tinfoil-swift

Overview

The Tinfoil Swift SDK is a wrapper around the MacPaw OpenAI SDK that provides secure communication with Tinfoil enclaves. It has the same API as the OpenAI SDK with additional security features including automatic verification that the endpoint is running in a secure Tinfoil enclave, TLS certificate pinning, and attestation validation.

Installation

Swift Package Manager

Add to your Package.swift:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/tinfoilsh/tinfoil-swift.git", branch: "main")
]

Xcode

Go to File → Add Package Dependencies
Enter the repository URL: https://github.com/tinfoilsh/tinfoil-swift.git
Select the version you want to use
Click “Add Package”

Note: Tinfoil Swift requires the MacPaw OpenAI SDK as a dependency. When you add Tinfoil Swift through Swift Package Manager, the OpenAI SDK will be automatically included.

Requirements

iOS 17.0+ / macOS 12.0+
Swift 5.9+
Xcode 15.0+

Migration from OpenAI

Migrating from OpenAI to Tinfoil is straightforward. The client is designed to be compatible with the MacPaw OpenAI Swift client:

// Before (OpenAI)
- import OpenAI
- let client = OpenAI(
-    apiToken: ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["OPENAI_API_KEY"] ?? ""
- )

// After (Tinfoil)
+ import TinfoilAI
+ import OpenAI
+ let client = try await TinfoilAI.create(
+     apiKey: ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["TINFOIL_API_KEY"] ?? ""
+ )

All method signatures remain the same since TinfoilAI.create() returns a standard OpenAI client with built-in security features.

Advanced Features

Non-Blocking Verification

By default, Tinfoil Swift enforces strict security by failing requests when enclave verification or certificate pinning fails. With non-blocking verification, you can allow requests to proceed even if verification fails, while still being notified of the verification status through a callback.

// Set up a callback to handle verification results
let verificationCallback: NonblockingVerification = { verificationPassed in
    if verificationPassed {
        print("✅ Enclave verification passed - connection is secure")
    } else {
        print("❌ Enclave verification failed - connection may not be secure")
        // Handle verification failure (log, alert user, etc.)
    }
}

// Create client with non-blocking verification
let client = try await TinfoilAI.create(
    apiKey: ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["TINFOIL_API_KEY"] ?? "",
    nonblockingVerification: verificationCallback
)

// Requests will proceed even if certificate verification fails
let chatQuery = ChatQuery(
    messages: [
        .user(.init(content: .string("Hello, I need a quick response!")))
    ],
    model: "llama3-3-70b"
)

// This request will go through regardless of verification status
let response = try await client.chats(query: chatQuery)
print(response.choices.first?.message.content ?? "No response")

Important Security Warning: When using non-blocking verification, requests will proceed even if enclave verification or certificate pinning fails. Only use this mode when availability is more important than security guarantees.

Error Handling

import TinfoilAI

do {
    let client = try await TinfoilAI.create(
        apiKey: ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["TINFOIL_API_KEY"] ?? ""
    )
    
    let response = try await client.chats(query: chatQuery)
    // Handle response
} catch {
    print("Error creating client or making request: \(error)")
}

Manual Verification and Certificate Pinning

For advanced use cases, you can perform manual verification and use certificate pinning directly:

// Manual verification with progress callbacks
let verificationCallbacks = VerificationCallbacks(
    onCodeVerificationComplete: { result in
        switch result.status {
        case .success(let digest):
            print("Code verification successful: \(digest)")
        case .failure(let error):
            print("Code verification failed: \(error)")
        default:
            break
        }
    },
    onRuntimeVerificationComplete: { result in
        switch result.status {
        case .success(let digest):
            print("Runtime verification successful: \(digest)")
        case .failure(let error):
            print("Runtime verification failed: \(error)")
        default:
            break
        }
    },
    onSecurityCheckComplete: { result in
        switch result.status {
        case .success:
            print("Security check passed: Code and runtime match")
        case .failure(let error):
            print("Security check failed: \(error)")
        default:
            break
        }
    }
)

let secureClient = SecureClient(
    githubRepo: "tinfoilsh/<config-repo>",
    enclaveURL: "<enclave>.model.tinfoil.sh",
    callbacks: verificationCallbacks
)

let verificationResult = try await secureClient.verify()
if verificationResult.isMatch {
    print("Verification successful!")
    print("Code digest: \(verificationResult.codeDigest)")
    print("Runtime digest: \(verificationResult.runtimeDigest)")
    print("Key fingerprint: \(verificationResult.publicKeyFP)")
} else {
    print("Verification failed: Code and runtime digests do not match")
}
