It must feel weird to create an operating system that runs on a CPU inside a bigger CPU.

Technically if you count virtual machines as CPUs then every piece of Javascript etc. code runs in a CPU inside a CPU :P

Trustonic is about as trustworthy a name as "Safecorp" or something similar. The name itself is just one big red flag.

They are probably the largest TEE* supplier AFIK even bigger than Intel; they are pretty much the Java of the TEE world.

It’s a joint venture between ARM, Gemalto and a few other companies iirc.
