1. A computer-implemented method of protecting access to hardware devices through use of a secure processor, the method comprising:
receiving, by a security computer, a request from a requesting computer for access to a hardware device on a network; in response to receiving the request, encrypting, by a first secure processor within the security computer, the request to generate an encrypted request, wherein the encrypted request is generated within a core of the first secure processor, and wherein the first secure processor protects a secure application that is used to process the request from other software on the first secure processor; transmitting, from the security computer to the hardware device, the encrypted request, wherein the encrypted request comprises an address and identification of the requesting computer; receiving, by the security computer, an encrypted acknowledgement of the encrypted request, wherein the encrypted acknowledgement was generated by a processor associated with the hardware device; and in response to receiving the encrypted acknowledgement, decrypting the encrypted acknowledgement and creating, by the security computer, a communication session between the requesting computer and the hardware device. |
