  Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) are rapidly emerging as a root-of-trust
for protecting sensitive applications and data using hardware-backed isolated
worlds of execution. TEEs provide robust assurances regarding critical
algorithm execution, tamper-resistant credential storage, and platform
integrity using remote attestation. However, the challenge of remotely managing
credentials between TEEs remains largely unaddressed in existing literature. In
this work, we present novel protocols using mutual attestation for supporting
four aspects of secure remote credential management with TEEs: backups,
updates, migration, and revocation. The proposed protocols are agnostic to the
underlying TEE implementation and subjected to formal verification using
Scyther, which found no attacks.
