In the realm of mobile security, where OS-based protections have proven
insufficient against robust attackers, Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)
have emerged as a hardware-based security technology. Despite the industry's
persistence in advancing TEE technology, the impact on end users and developers
remains largely unexplored. This study addresses this gap by conducting a
large-scale analysis of TEE utilization in Android applications, focusing on
the key areas of cryptography, digital rights management, biometric
authentication, and secure dialogs.
