Every TEE goes through an attestation process to ensure the code is running on a genuine and secure TEE from the hardware manufacturer. This process verifies the TEE’s code is untampered with and verifies the dedicated cryptographic key pair of the specific TEE. These keys allow the TEE to sign its own messages as a means of verification that a specific credential was issued by a specific TEE.

Litentry uses Trusted Execution Enclaves to protect the sensitive relations of identity owner. A user can store & communicate the relationships between their web2 & Web3 accounts safely since it is protected by the TEE and encrypted during communication. Our TEE’s also verify the on-chain information that is related to those accounts as an independent trustworthy observer and help users practice selective disclosure of credentials.

Since the TEE acts as an independent trustworthy and verifiable observer it can issue claims and credentials about the accounts being stored inside it’s enclave. This middle layer allows the user to manage the amount of information they select to disclose or allows to share. A user might prefer to share the possession of a token but not it’s size or purchase date.
