Understanding Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) are secure hardware frameworks that allow programs to operate under strict integrity and confidentiality assurances. This technology plays a crucial role in various domains such as blockchain block building and AI model training. By creating a secure enclave for code execution, TEEs provide a guarantee that only authorized operations occur, while protecting the data being processed against physical access or alteration by unauthorized parties. Their design facilitates the secure execution of sensitive computations, making them a compelling tool for privacy-conscious applications.
