Platform Embedded Security Technology Revealed is an in-depth introduction to Intel s platform
embedded solution: the security and management engine. The engine is shipped inside most Intel
platforms for servers personal computers tablets and smartphones. The engine realizes
advanced security and management functionalities and protects applications secrets and users
privacy in a secure light-weight and inexpensive way. Besides native built-in features it
allows third-party software vendors to develop applications that take advantage of the security
infrastructures offered by the engine. Intel s security and management engine is
technologically unique and significant but is largely unknown to many members of the tech
communities who could potentially benefit from it. Platform Embedded Security Technology
Revealed reveals technical details of the engine. The engine provides a new way for the
computer security industry to resolve critical problems resulting from booming mobile
technologies such as increasing threats against confidentiality and privacy. This book
describes how this advanced level of protection is made possible by the engine how it can
improve users security experience and how third-party vendors can make use of it. It's written
for computer security professionals and researchers embedded system engineers and software
engineers and vendors who are interested in developing new security applications on top of
Intel s security and management engine. It s also written for advanced users who are interested
in understanding how the security features of Intel s platforms work.
