Everything about Secure element

Isolated and secure electronic component

In computer science and cybersecurity, a secure element (SE) is a secure operating system (OS) in a tamper-resistant processor or secure component. It can protect assets (root of trust, sensitive data, cryptographic keys and certificates, and applications) against high-level software and hardware attacks. Applications that process this sensitive data on an SE are isolated and so operate within a controlled environment not affected by software (including possible malware) found elsewhere on the OS.
