TEE

Trusted Execution Environment

  1. Confidentiality: TEE provides a secure and isolated environment where sensitive data and computations can be processed. It ensures that the confidentiality of data is preserved, even from the operating system or other software running on the host system.

  2. Integrity: TEE ensures the integrity of code and data within its secure enclave. It protects against unauthorized modifications or tampering, providing a trusted execution environment for critical operations.

  3. Privacy: TEE offers strong privacy protection by isolating sensitive data and computations from the rest of the system. It prevents unauthorized access or leakage of sensitive information, ensuring that user privacy is maintained.

  4. Secure Key Storage: TEE provides a secure location for storing cryptographic keys and performing key management operations. It safeguards the keys from unauthorized access, making it difficult for attackers to compromise the keys.

  5. Remote Attestation: TEE allows for remote attestation, which enables the verification of the TEE's integrity and security properties by a remote entity. This helps establish trust between different parties, ensuring that the TEE is operating in a trusted and secure manner.

  6. Secure Execution of Trusted Applications: TEE enables the execution of trusted applications with strong security guarantees. It provides a controlled environment where these applications can run securely, protecting sensitive operations and data from external threats.
