Comment on Reversing the AMD Secure Processor (PSP) – Part 2: Cryptographic Co-Processorparent

Comments

The protected video path for Intel integrated GPUs involves the ME.

my guess is that its not used by the ARC dGPUs which have their own equivalent for it? But I guess it makes sense to use it for iGPUs.

With that said, seems sketchy to send untrusted data to the ME which is essentially an independent computer, running an independent OS with the ability to have persistent state. Seems like a security failure waiting to happen.
