The device certificate ensures that the device is one that was manufactured legally. The certification is preconfigured during device production and proves that the device was manufactured legally. The private key of the certification is written and securely stored in the TEE and can only be used in the TEE. When sensitive user data (such as keys and encrypted biometrics) needs to be transmitted between devices, a secure channel is established between their TEEs only after the device security has been proven using the device certificate. The below figure shows how the device certificate is used. .. figure:: figures/system_security.jpg + :scale: 50 + :align: center Figure 1 Using the device certificate -- GitLab
