Abstract

A host proxy executable within a virtualized environment hostable by a host computing device for a client device intercepts an embedded security hardware communication request sent by an application executable within the virtualized environment. The host proxy sends the embedded security hardware communication request to a client proxy executable on the client computing device. The client proxy relays the embedded security hardware communication request to embedded security hardware of the client computing device.
