# Security & Research Section

> Deep technical analysis of dstack's security architecture for researchers and security engineers

This section offers an in-depth security analysis of dstack's TEE implementation. For general information, refer to the [Core Concepts](/docs/concepts/overview) section.

## For Security Researchers

dstack is built on a foundation of hardware-enforced security primitives. This section provides detailed technical analysis of each security-critical component, including:

* **Source code references** with direct links to implementation
* **Cryptographic protocol analysis** and trust boundaries
* **Attestation flow diagrams** and verification procedures
* **Key management architecture** and secure storage mechanisms
