Abstract

The technology disclosed herein enables efficient launching of trusted execution environments. An example method can include: receiving, by a first computing device, a request from a second computing device to establish a set of trusted execution environments (TEEs) in the first computing device; establishing a first TEE of the set of TEEs in the first computing device, wherein the trusted execution environment comprises an encrypted memory area and executable code; receiving, by the first TEE, cryptographic key data from the first computing device; establishing, by the first TEE, a second TEE of the set of TEEs in the first computing device, wherein the second TEE comprises a copy of the executable code; providing, by the first TEE, the cryptographic key data to the second TEE; and causing the executable code of the second TEE to communicate with the first computing device using the cryptographic key data.
