+=================================
+TS-TEE (Trusted Services project)
+=================================
+
+This driver provides access to secure services implemented by Trusted Services.
+
+Trusted Services [1] is a TrustedFirmware.org project that provides a framework
+for developing and deploying device Root of Trust services in FF-A [2] S-EL0
+Secure Partitions. The project hosts the reference implementation of the Arm
+Platform Security Architecture [3] for Arm A-profile devices.
+
+The FF-A Secure Partitions (SP) are accessible through the FF-A driver [4] which
+provides the low level communication for this driver. On top of that the Trusted
+Services RPC protocol is used [5]. To use the driver from user space a reference
+implementation is provided at [6], which is part of the Trusted Services client
+library called libts [7].
+
+All Trusted Services (TS) SPs have the same FF-A UUID, it identifies the TS RPC
+protocol. A TS SP can host one or more services (e.g. PSA Crypto, PSA ITS, etc).
+A service is identified by its service UUID, the same type of service cannot be
+present twice in the same SP. During SP boot each service in the SP is assigned
+an "interface ID", this is just a short ID to simplify message addressing.
+
+The generic TEE design is to share memory at once with the TEE implementation,
+which can then be reused to communicate with multiple TAs. However, in case of
+FF-A, memory sharing works on an endpoint level, i.e. memory is shared with a
+specific SP. User space has to be able to separately share memory with each SP
+based on its endpoint ID, therefore a separate TEE device is registered for each
+discovered TS SP. Opening the SP corresponds to opening the TEE device and
+creating a TEE context. A TS SP hosts one or more services, opening a service
+corresponds to opening a session in the given tee_context.
