Crypto Module for Intel® Alder Point PCH Converged Security and Manageability Engine (CSME)
Intel Corporation - FIPS 140 #4749
The Cryptographic Module for Intel® Converged Security and Manageability Engine(CSME) is a firmware-hybrid module. The module consists of both hardware and firmware. The hardware portion is the Converged Security Engine (CSE) and the firmware portion is the crypto driver process of the Manageability Engine (ME). The two portions form the cryptographic boundary and they combine as Converged Security and Manageability Engine (CSME) to perform cryptographic functions within the Alder Point PCH applications executing on the CSME OS.
