+User-Supplied Secret (USS), is used to derive key material unique to each
 application. This guarantees that if the integrity of the application
 loaded onto the device has been tampered with, the correct keys

 load their own apps, while ensuring that each app loaded will have
 its own cryptographic identity, and can also be used for authentication
 towards different services.
