Android Secure Element

Android Secure Element is a dedicated hardware component within a device that securely stores sensitive information such as payment credentials, digital certificates, and authentication data. It acts as a highly protected "safe" isolated from the rest of the device’s system, ensuring that critical data cannot be accessed or tampered with by malicious software. Used in applications like mobile payments and secure access, the Secure Element provides an environment where sensitive transactions can be carried out safely, maintaining user privacy and security through strong cryptographic methods.
