# This driver will have external input - variable data and communicate buffer in SMM mode.
# This external input must be validated carefully to avoid security issues such as
# buffer overflow or integer overflow.
+# The whole SMM authentication variable design relies on the integrity of flash part and SMM.
+# which is assumed to be protected by platform. All variable code and metadata in flash/SMM Memory
+# may not be modified without authorization. If platform fails to protect these resources,
+# the authentication service provided in this driver will be broken, and the behavior is undefined.
