Secure Enclaves are specialized areas within a computer's processor designed to protect sensitive data and code from unauthorized access. They create a secure environment where information can be processed without interference from the operating system or other applications. This isolation helps safeguard against various security threats, including malware and hacking attempts. These enclaves utilize hardware-based security features, such as those found in Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX) or ARM's TrustZone. By ensuring that only trusted code can access the data within the enclave, they provide a robust solution for applications requiring high levels of confidentiality, such as financial transactions and personal information storage.
