Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) provide confidential execution of code for sensitive processes and data based on chip-level instructions, and are beginning to be offered in standard server hardware an in the cloud. They allow striking new ways to architect, design and implement systems and components, but open source availability - and upstreaming of core components - is not advancing quickly.

This session will:
- introduce the basics of TEEs;
- discuss some of the ways that can be used;
- examine new use cases for systems design;
- explore the importance of open source involvement;
- give an example of a TEE-based open source project;
- suggest some ways in which attendees can engage.
