On Making Emerging Trusted Execution Environments Accessible to Developers

New types of Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) architectures like TrustLite and Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) are emerging. They bring new features that can lead to innovative security and privacy solutions. But each new TEE environment comes with its own set of interfaces and programming paradigms, thus raising the barrier for entry for developers who want to make use of these TEEs. In this paper, we motivate the need for realizing standard TEE interfaces on such emerging TEE architectures and show that this exercise is not straightforward. We report on our on-going work in mapping GlobalPlatform standard interfaces to TrustLite and SGX.Comment: Author's version of article to appear in 8th Internation Conference of Trust & Trustworthy Computing, TRUST 2015, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, August 24-26, 201
