- and iii) control the peripheral during the secure communication session through messages passed during the secure communication session, and wherein the host interface is configured to:
- i) reboot the device to operate in an accessory mode of operation as the peripheral, ii) process some of the messages on the device received from the host during the secure communication session, and iii) send other of the messages to the host for further processing by the host or a second peripheral during the secure communication session.
