ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for providing security for a computer system, which includes generating a request for a file. The request is received at a dedicated security processor, where the dedicated security processor may access the file to validate the requested file. Upon determining that the requested file is valid, the dedicated security processor may provide the requested file to another processor.
