Trust Execution Environments (TEEs) like Intel SGX and ARM TrustZone ensure confidentiality and integrity of code and data in Oasis Network, protecting them from external access.
TEEs enable Oasis Network to perform computations on encrypted data without revealing it on the network, enhancing privacy for sensitive applications like DeFi, healthcare, AI, and more.
Oasis Network's architecture includes ParaTimes that utilize TEEs, allowing for confidential smart contract execution in a secure environment, enabling private DeFi transactions, AI computation, DAOs, and off-chain data storage.
While TEEs offer strong protection for data, challenges like trust in hardware manufacturers and potential exposure to advanced threats exist. Oasis Network addresses these concerns through audits, encryption, and adherence to standards.
