Abstract:
Secure processing systems providing host-isolated security are provided. An exemplary secure processing system includes a host processor and a virtual machine instantiated on the host processor. A virtual unified security hub (USH) is instantiated on the virtual machine to provide security services to applications executing on the host processor. The virtual USH may further include an application programming interface (API) operable to expose the security services to the applications. A further exemplary secure processing system includes a host processor running a windows operating system for example, a low power host processor, and a USH processor configured to provide secure services to both the host processor and the low power host processor isolating the secure services from the host processor and the low power processor. The USH processor may also include an API to expose the security services to applications executing on the host processor and/or the low power host processor.
