Building the Truman Show: A TrustZone-Based Framework for Lightweight Out-of-band Kernel Security Monitoring
A TrustZone-backed framework moves kernel-integrity monitoring outside the OS trust boundary, offering hardware-isolated rootkit detection relevant to ARM-heavy edge and IoT estates.

arXiv:2608.29758v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing number of vulnerabilities in operating systems, together with sophisticated kernel-level threats (e.g., rootkits), has weakened the effectiveness of traditional in-kernel protection mechanisms. Since these defenses operate at the same privilege level as the kernel, they share the same attack surface and can be bypassed once the kernel is compromised. Isolation-based security approaches provide stronger protection by separating secur
Editorial Analysis
As ARM processors proliferate in edge computing, hardware-rooted integrity monitoring could strengthen defences where traditional endpoint agents are impractical.
