    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein enables an auxiliary device to run a service that can access and analyze data of a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). The auxiliary device may establish an auxiliary TEE in the auxiliary device and establish a trusted communication link between the auxiliary TEE and the TEE (i.e., primary TEE). The primary TEE may execute a target program using the primary devices of a host device (e.g., CPU) and the auxiliary TEE may execute a security program using the auxiliary device (e.g., DPU). In one example, the primary and auxiliary TEEs may be established for a cloud consumer and the auxiliary TEE may execute a security service that can monitor data of the primary TEE even though the data is inaccessible to all other software executing external to the primary TEE (e.g., inaccessible to host operating system and hypervisor).
