The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

Arm Confidential Compute Architecture introduces Realms, isolated execution environments whose memory and register state are hidden from the hypervisor and the host operating system. Its Realm Management Extension adds hardware granule protection that partitions physical memory between worlds and enforces those boundaries in the memory system, with a small management monitor responsible for creating and attesting Realms.
