Proof is in the Pudding is an IRL series of whiteboard sessions hosted by zkSecurity Co-founder and Archetype Research Advisor, David Wong.
Each session, David gives a 201-level lecture about the in’s and out’s of cryptography and ZK, followed by a group discussion.
In Session 05, we dug into confidential computing and trusted execution environments (TEEs). David explained the current TEEs in existence today and their security and attack vectors before going deeper into memory encryption, measurements, and TEE firmware. This session also featured a lot of discussion with a great group of researchers from founders.
