Computer Theology uses the term secure core for either a secure computer or the secure part of a computer. This term encompasses, and is more general than, the term Trusted Computing Base introduced in 1985 by the US Department of Defense:
"The security-relevant portions of a system are referred to throughout this document as the Trusted Computing Base (TCB)."
