Secure enclosure with internal security components

A method of configuring a secured enclosure system, comprising:

• associating at least one processing module with at least one security module, the at least one processing module configured to implement a processing task, the security module configured to provide a trust anchor functionality to the at least one processing module;
• associating a secure backplane with the at least one processing module, the secure backplane configured for monitoring a connection with the at least one processing module, the secure backplane further configured to manage a power utilization of the at least one processing module by monitoring an interconnect between the secure backplane and the at least one processing module, the managing a power utilization of the at least one processing module including providing power switching and power filtering to the at least one processing module;
• associating a key, a certificate, a tamper posture, an authentication, a fault monitoring, a zeroization control and a sanitization with each of the at least one processing module;
• establishing a first connection between the at least one processing module and the secure backplane;
• monitoring the first connection between the at least one processing module and the secure backplane;
• establishing a second connection between the secure backplane and a security controller module, the security controller module configured for:
• providing a root of trust, for serving as a local system controller, and for serving as a key/certificate manager;
• receiving a communication from the secure backplane, the communication including detection of an unrecognizable event via the monitoring of the first connection;
• zeroization of at least one processing module based on the communication and at least one of the key, the certificate, the tamper posture, the authentication, and the fault monitoring;
• operation in a master mode and in a slave mode, the security controller module configured to distribute keys/certificates to a separate security controller module in a separate secure enclosure when the security controller module is in master mode, the security controller module configured to operate on a receive-only basis when the security controller module is in slave mode;
• detecting an interference with the secured enclosure system via at least one physical security component within a secure enclosure, the secure enclosure enclosing the at least one processing module, the at least one security module, the secure backplane, and the security controller module.
