Trusted Execution Environments (TEE)

A Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is a secure area within a computer’s processor that isolates sensitive data and operations from the main system. It ensures that critical tasks, like handling passwords or encryption keys, are protected from malware or unauthorized access. Think of it as a secure vault in your device where important information can be processed safely, even if the rest of the system is compromised. TEEs are used in smartphones, financial devices, and other hardware to enhance security and maintain data integrity.
