Abstract

A method for operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes executing, by a processor of the electronic device operable in a first mode (e.g. a trusted execution environment (TEE)) or a second mode (e.g. a non-trusted execution environment (NTEE)), wherein the first mode is more secure than the second mode; receiving, by the processor operating in the first mode, data or information related to a first software program stored in a first memory region; and authenticating, by the processor operating in the first mode, at least a portion of the data or information using a second software program stored in a second memory region.
