Crypto Module for Intel® Core Ultra Series 1 (Meteor Lake) Converged Security and Manageability Engine (CSME)
Intel Corporation - FIPS 140 #5546
The Crypto Module for Intel® Core Ultra Series 1 (Meteor Lake) 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 Meteor Point PCH applications executing on the CSME OS.
