ARM has something called TrustZone. As per ARM documentation , it gives that a process can run in Secure / Non-Secure World.

  • What does the Secure / Non-Secure World means. Is it related to Processor executing modes or it is related to setting the permissions of memory regions or something else.
  • Is there any relationship between the 7 operating modes of ARM and the Secure / Non-Secure Worlds.
  • How to enable the TrustZone in ARM.
  • From Which version of ARM is this introduced.
  • Is it mandatory to use this TrustZone. Does linux kernel uses this TrustZone extension.
Kindly help me in understanding this.
