# Trusted Execution Environments  (TEE) —  Intel SGX

Secret Network uses Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX) implementation of TEE technology. TEE refers to a secure area of a processor where data is inaccessible to any other component in the system. A TEE acts as a blackbox for computation, input and output can be known, but the state inside the TEE is never revealed.

Intel’s Software Guard Extensions (SGX) is a set of security-related instructions built into certain Intel CPUs enabling TEEs. By using SGX chips, the chip owners, system operators, and observers have strong cryptographic guarantees that no party can view what's happening inside of the Secret memory space.

This part of the documentation will discuss all aspects of TEE technology and the way that Secret Network implements it for a secure private computation environment.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/introduction/secret-network-techstack/privacy-technology/intel-sgx.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
