Abstract
A secure processor such as a trusted platform module supports multiple security functions within a single secure processing environment. For example, the secure processor may be configured to perform functions in accordance with the TPM specification and to perform other, non-TPM, security functions. These security functions may be operated independently such that the operation of one security function does not violate or compromising the security of other security functions.
