Abstract
This document describes a secure element that leverages the resources of a computer system to perform specialized functions using sensitive information. The secure element securely stores sensitive information on flash memory of the computer system. In response to a request requiring use of sensitive information, the secure element loads a security application and sensitive information from the computer system. By leveraging external resources, the secure element may flexibly accommodate increasing resource requirements of the computer system and be used in a wide range of computer systems.
