Abstract
This chapter first introduces Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and presents high-level description of the protections offered to TEEs by the Trusted Computer Base (TCB), and how the protections can be realized. It then presents a list of existing academic and commercial secure processor architectures, and the types of TEEs they offer as examples of possible design choices. It also presents TEE-related assumptions. The chapter closes by listing limitations of today’s TCBs and the TEEs they create.
