The term "secure keys" is really generic. What makes the "secure keys" secure? We introduced "trusted keys", because TPM 1.2 didn't support symmetric keys. We shouldn't just duplicate "trusted keys" for different HW, but improve upon it (eg. symmetric keys never leave the device). The new key type should define generic methods, which are implemented for NXP CAAM rypto HW accelerator as an example. Mimi
