Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)

A Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is a secure area within a device's main processor that protects sensitive data and computations from unauthorized access or tampering. It isolates crucial operations, such as handling passwords, encryption, or biometric data, ensuring they run safely even if the rest of the device is compromised. Think of it as a highly secure, separate "safe" inside your device that keeps your sensitive information protected from malicious apps or hackers, providing a trusted space for critical operations without interfering with the normal functions of the device.
