# Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)

To strengthen security at the infrastructure level, Aster AI integrates **Trusted Execution Environments (TEE)** as a foundational component of agent architecture. TEE allows sensitive processes - like wallet generation, agent authentication, and proof creation - to be executed in an isolated, tamper-proof enclave. This ensures that even the platform itself cannot access private keys or user-specific proofs generated by the agent.

When a user creates a wallet or triggers a critical action, TEE generates cryptographic proof that can be verified externally, without compromising key material or user privacy. This is especially vital for agent-based interactions where trust and automation intersect. By separating secure computation from the rest of the system, TEE reinforces user ownership and decentralization - ensuring that Aster AI remains trust-minimized while offering a seamless experience.
