Podcast: Trusted Execution Environments

According to Cybernetica's Chief Scientific Officer Dan Bogdanov, we have cybersecurity because computers were invented the "wrong" way. Due to the ability of computers to make communication and copying of data easy, computers inherently are open to breaches and, thus, extra restrictions need to be made in order to minimise risks. Enter Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). A TEE is like a secure vault within your device, ensuring confidentiality and integrity even if other parts of the system are compromised.

In this episode of "Science Will Make You Happy", Dan and Cybernetica's Software Architect Armin Daniel Kisand take the TEE technology apart from an engineering perspective – tune in to learn how it works, what are some specific applications, can you fool it and still execute a successful breach, and much more!
