Abstract:
A host device and method for securely booting the host device with operating system code loaded from a storage device are provided. In one embodiment, a host device is in communication with a storage device having a private memory area storing boot loader code and a public memory area storing operating system code. The host device instructs the storage device to initiate a boot mode and receives the boot loader code from the storage device. The host device executes the boot loader code which performs a security check and executes the operating system code loaded from the storage device only if the security check is successful.
