Hardware Security and Secure Enclave Integration Questions

Practical and architectural considerations for integrating hardware security primitives into larger systems. Topics include using trusted execution environments and secure enclaves for key operations, private key attestation and attestation flows, hardware software co design, secure storage and memory protection, interactions with hardware security modules, lifecycle and provisioning of hardware bound keys, and mitigations for hardware side channels and fault attacks. Candidates are assessed on how to design interfaces between application software and hardware roots of trust, and how to reason about assumptions, threat models, and verification techniques for hardware backed security.
