A security module authentication system includes a processing system that is configured to authenticate a security module based on a processing system type of the processing system. The system also includes a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) coupled to the processing system and that includes a BIOS storage device. The BIOS storage stores a plurality of security modules each of which corresponds to a different processing system type. The BIOS is configured to utilize any of the plurality of security modules to perform a secure boot. The BIOS storage also stores an image table that identifies a first location in the BIOS storage of a first security module of the plurality of security modules. The first security module is authenticable by the processing system based on the processing system type of the processing system.
