Internal support code inside the Nouveau open-source NVIDIA GPU driver that handles the SEC2 (security) engine present on modern NVIDIA cards, used for tasks like firmware authentication and HDCP. It is not a standalone hardware driver in its own right but a building block of the larger Nouveau stack.
This is not actually a driver directory; it is an internal subcomponent of the Nouveau GPU driver's NVKM core that implements support for NVIDIA's SEC2 engine. It only makes sense as part of the wider Nouveau driver and should be evaluated in that context rather than on its own.

codex reasoning notes (technical)
Not a driver directory: this is an internal Nouveau NVKM SEC2 engine subcomponent under DRM, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
