Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-09-30

Use for prototyping; condition production adoption on validation of the exact hardware and software stack.

Why
Research implementations and native Realm tests demonstrate progress, while independent native security assurance and final-stack performance remain limited.
Next
Test isolation, attestation, device access and workload performance, including pseudo-NMI behavior, on the intended shipping platform.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Shipping platform availability and enabled CCA features require confirmation.
  • Native isolation and attack resistance need independent validation.
  • Non-TDIR Realm performance can degrade substantially with pseudo-NMI enabled.
  • Firmware, attestation and device integration require platform-specific testing.
