Other platforms, such as Microsoft's Surface devices have the Surface Aggregator Module whose role(s) haveexpanded to scopes such as handling input events, and over time, become much harder to handle on alternate operating systems such as Linux. Apple's T2's security processor, for example, imposes even more restrictions (and at a wider scope) than Microsoft's SSAM implementation.
