Problem
AI workflows that process sensitive data or proprietary models often require trust in the host machine, cloud operator, logs, and secret-handling path.
Solution
TEE AI Runtime uses confidential-compute concepts: secure ingress, remote attestation, encrypted secrets, policy-bound execution, SDK integration, and redacted audit trails.
Challenges
The system must prove runtime identity before releasing secrets, keep logs useful without leaking payloads, and make confidential execution accessible from normal app code.
Innovation
The project connects agent security to hardware-rooted trust. Instead of relying only on app-layer access controls, it gives sensitive AI work an attested runtime boundary.
