Trusted Execution & Key Protection

Trusted execution technologies are powerful, but they are often misunderstood. A TEE, TrustZone design, secure element, TPM, HSM, or enclave does not automatically protect secrets unless the architecture uses it correctly.

Device Prophet reviews trusted execution and key-protection designs to validate what is isolated, what is exposed, and where trust assumptions may fail.

Typical scope

  • · TrustZone / TEE partitioning
  • · Secure-world and normal-world boundary review
  • · Key storage and key-use model
  • · Secure element / TPM / HSM integration assumptions
  • · Device identity and attestation model
  • · Secure API and attack-surface review
  • · Update and lifecycle implications

Outcome

You receive a written review of trust boundaries, what is enforceable in your trusted-execution design, where assumptions may not hold, and how to harden the architecture.

Our review process may use AI-assisted research and mapping to speed up standards analysis, requirement discovery, and preparation. Final findings and technical recommendations are reviewed by human embedded-security expertise.
