An Exploration of ARM TrustZone Technology Apr 10, 2014A new article supplemented by a demonstration video presents our endeavour of combining Genode with the security features of ARM TrustZone.

Even though it is used on most ARM-based devices ranging from low-cost development boards to mobile phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4, there exists almost no public body of knowledge around this technology.
