TEE (trusted execution environment)
Türkçe: TEE (güvenilir yürütme ortamı)
A secure processing area, isolated from the main operating system by hardware, in which sensitive code and data are protected.
// EXPLANATION
Code inside a TEE cannot be read or altered even if the main operating system has been taken over. TrustZone is one TEE implementation; Apple's Secure Enclave is a similar approach using a separate processor.
