Abstract: A vapor cartridge for a non-combustible vaping device may be configured to receive a flavor cartridge, generate a vapor, and direct the generated vapor through the flavor cartridge to provide a flavored vapor. The flavor cartridge may include an instance of electrically conductive material extending at least partially around the flavor cartridge. The vapor cartridge may include an authentication assembly including a set of electrically conductive instruments may independently and directly contact the instance of electrically conductive material of the flavor cartridge inserted into the vapor cartridge, such that the electrically conductive instruments are electrically connected to each other through the instance of electrically conductive material of the flavor cartridge.

Abstract: A TEE system that includes a first platform that runs a first TEE, a second platform that runs a second TEE, and a merging unit that is adapted to merge a first output from the first TEE of the first platform, with a second output from the second TEE of the second platform, so as to form an output of the TEE system. The first TEE and the second TEE are based on different implementations. In this way, the security of the system is improved, as a malicious actor even be able to access “t” machines, still would not be able to retrieve the secret unless there are multiple exploitable TEE vulnerabilities on all executing TEE platforms at the same time.
