                            TEE Management
The Trusted Application life cycle is controlled by the Intel® DAL Admin Framework in the Converged Security Engine (CSE) firmware. The Intel DAL Management Application is the host block that implements the Intel DAL Management Protocol.
As of Intel DAL Java* API level 7, the TA Management Application, implemented by the Intel DAL Host Interface Service, provides an API interface to perform the TA Management operations. As expected, the legacy Admin commands (install/uninstall commands) are preserved in the Host Interface Service.
The TA Management App functionality is derived from the Intel DAL Admin Framework capabilities. The list of TEE Admin operations is described in the following sections.
