# Trusted Execution Environments (TEE)

As agent-based systems begin handling sensitive tasks, privacy, integrity, and verifiability become non-negotiable. Kodeus is designed with a forward-compatible vision to support Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) — a critical layer for enterprise trust and regulated market participation.

#### Future-Proofing Agent Trust & Privacy

Kodeus plans to integrate TEEs to enable confidential agent execution. This ensures:

* Isolated Execution: Agents run within protected hardware enclaves, shielding logic and data from unauthorized access.
* Tamper-Proof Operations: Verifiable records of actions without exposing internal logic.
* Secure Data Handling: External API keys, credentials, or user inputs are protected during execution.

These capabilities position Kodeus for sensitive applications like compliance, treasury control, or private strategy automation.

#### Use Cases for Regulated and Enterprise Environments

TEEs will unlock new verticals for Kodeus agents, such as:

* Enterprise Automation: Deploy agents for CRM integration, financial reconciliation, or compliance monitoring — without data leakage.
* DeFi Strategy Agents: Run high-frequency or proprietary trading bots with guaranteed privacy.
* Governance-Grade Integrity: Ensure voting agents or delegate watchers execute with provable neutrality and security.

#### Integration Roadmap

While TEE support is not live in the current architecture, Kodeus will explore integrations with:

* Trusted Hardware Platforms: Intel SGX, AMD SEV, ARM TrustZone
* Decentralized Confidential Computing Protocols: Oasis Network, Secret Network, Phala

These integrations will be phased into the ecosystem based on community demand and partner collaborations.
