Abstract:
Technologies for securely binding a manifest to a platform include a computing device having a security engine and a field-programmable fuse. The computing device receives a platform manifest indicative of a hardware configuration of the computing device and a manifest hash. The security engine of the computing device blows a bit of a field programmable fuse and then stores the manifest hash and a counter value of the field-programmable fuse in integrity-protected non-volatile storage. In response to a platform reset, the security engine verifies the stored manifest hash and counter value and then determines whether the stored counter value matches the field-programmable fuse. If verified and current, trusted software may calculate a hash of the platform manifest and compare the calculated hash to the stored manifest hash. If matching, the platform manifest may be used to discover platform hardware. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
