  • Method and device for secure communications over a network using a hardware security engine
    Patent number: 9887838
    Abstract: A method, device, and system for establishing a secure communication session with a server includes initiating a request for a secure communication session, such as a Secure Sockets Layer (SLL) communication session with a server using a nonce value generated in a security engine of a system-on-a-chip (SOC) of a client device. Additionally, a cryptographic key exchange is performed between the client and the server to generate a symmetric session key, which is stored in a secure storage of the security engine. The cryptographic key exchange may be, for example, a Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) key exchange or a Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Private keys and other data generated during the cryptographic key exchange may be generated and/or stored in the security engine.
