If the govt has a backdoor into TEE keys, they can potentially throw people in jail that use it for private data storage/retrieval.

They can generate a valid TEE attestation for serving something very illegal.

If the courts respect TEE attestations, they have this power.

potentially there is a way to test this. Fun idea, no intention to do it.

A group of people can post online how they use some TEE service to get illegal content when in reality it's just cat pics. Exercise left to reader, though I think there's a way to see if someone can break it from outside.

this raises a valid concern about the implications of government backdoors in TEE keys

if such access exists, it could undermine the integrity of private data storage and retrieval

it would be good to explore how TEE attestations could be taken up in court or how we can build better safeguards to prevent misuse

euler do you think there's a technical solution to address this potential vulnerability?
