Technical Summary
A Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is an environment that enforces
that any code within that environment cannot be tampered with, and
that any data used by such code cannot be read or tampered with by
any code outside that environment. This architecture document
motivates the design and standardization of a protocol for managing
the lifecycle of trusted applications running inside such a TEE.
Working Group Summary
The draft was adopted in July 2018 with good WG support for adoption.
The draft has been widely discussed and reviewed. The co-authors of this document
are from some of the leading vendors in offering TEE and with extensive
experience with the related technologies and implementations, they are also the
authors of the TEEP Protocol WG draft which guarantees consistency.
Document Quality
The draft is mature enough after several revisions and there is strong
consensus in the WG. IETF LC did not generate any new issues but the
directorate reviews did see some discussion and a document update as a
result.
