Trusted Execution Environments

Secure areas in processors guaranteeing code and data protection.
Trusted Execution Environments

Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) provide a secure area within a main processor. It guarantees code and data loaded inside to be protected with respect to confidentiality and integrity. TEEs are essential for isolating sensitive operations like biometric matching, cryptographic key management, and secure payments from the main operating system, which might be compromised. Extended to cloud environments via Confidential Computing platforms, TEEs enable secure multi-party computation and privacy-preserving analytics on sensitive identity data.
