METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR OFFLOADING SIGNATURE REVOCATION CHECKING ON ACCELERATION CIRCUITRY

Abstract:

A system includes a host processor operable to communicate with a remote requestor to perform operations for attesting a trusted system. The system also includes a hardware acceleration coprocessor coupled to the host processor. The host processor is further operable to offload at least some of the operations onto the hardware acceleration coprocessor to free up processing power on the host processor.
