This extension allows protected memory access to be specified per pipeline as opposed to per device. Through the usage of this extension, any performance penalty paid due to access to protected memory will be limited to the specific pipelines that make such accesses.

## New Structures

  - VkPhysicalDevicePipelineProtectedAccessFeaturesEXT

## New Enum Constants

- `VK_EXT_PIPELINE_PROTECTED_ACCESS_EXTENSION_NAME`

- `VK_EXT_PIPELINE_PROTECTED_ACCESS_SPEC_VERSION`
