| # Apache Teaclave™: Empowering Building Memory Safe Trusted Applications in Confidential Computing |
| |
| [](LICENSE) |
| [](https://teaclave.apache.org/) |
| |
| Welcome to the main repository of the **Teaclave** project, an open-source initiative under the Apache Software Foundation. Teaclave empowers developers to build **memory-safe** Trusted Applications across diverse **confidential computing platforms**, including Intel SGX and Arm TrustZone. |
| |
| Originally built as a general-purpose secure computing framework, Teaclave has evolved into a vibrant ecosystem focused on **SDKs** that enable developers to directly build custom Trusted Applications. This shift has been driven by how the community naturally adopted and extended the project. |
| |
| ## The Teaclave SDK Ecosystem |
| |
| Teaclave currently maintains SDKs for multiple Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) platforms: |
| |
| - 🔐 [Teaclave SGX SDK](https://github.com/apache/teaclave-sgx-sdk) — A Rust-based SDK for Intel SGX |
| - 🔐 [Teaclave TrustZone SDK](https://github.com/apache/teaclave-trustzone-sdk) — A Rust-based SDK for Arm TrustZone |
| - ☕ [Teaclave Java TEE SDK](https://github.com/apache/teaclave-java-tee-sdk) — An experimental Java SDK for TEEs |
| - 📦 [Teaclave Dependency Crates](https://github.com/apache/teaclave-crates) — A collection of ported and TEE-tailored Rust dependencies. |
| |
| These SDKs form the foundation for building secure and reliable TEE-based applications. |
| |
| ## Repository Status |
| |
| This repository previously hosted the **Teaclave FaaS framework**, a general-purpose confidential computing platform. As the community’s focus has shifted, the FaaS framework is no longer actively maintained. |
| |
| To preserve the project’s history and recognize early contributions, the legacy codebase remains available in the deprecated `master` (renamed to `legacy`) branch. Going forward, this repository serves as the **central landing page** for the Teaclave ecosystem, offering: |
| |
| - A project overview and roadmap |
| - Guidance on SDKs for different TEE platforms |
| - Showcases demonstrating real-world applications built with Teaclave SDKs |
| - A unified contribution guide |
| |
| ## Getting Started |
| |
| To begin building Trusted Applications, head to the SDK repositories linked above. Each includes installation instructions, documentation, and sample code. |
