Abstract:
Connectionless trusted computing base recovery is described. An example of a system includes one or more processors to process data; hardware including a hardware RoT (root of trust); and firmware including a firmware TCB (trusted computing base), the firmware including the credentials including one or more certificates and one or more keys, wherein the one or more processors are to determine that the firmware TCB is compromised and that the hardware RoT is intact; issue new credentials by the hardware RoT to mutable firmware based on a version number or security version number (SVN) of the firmware; and revoke old versions of the credentials for the firmware.

Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to provide software support for a hardware component incorporated into a computing device with a variety of processor components supporting different instruction sets and with a variety of operating systems. An apparatus may include a main processor component of a computing device; a network device simulator coupled to a hardware component of the computing device, and to provide a simulated network device; and a bus network interface controller (NIC) simulator to provide a simulated bus NIC, the bus NIC simulator and the network device simulator to present the hardware component to the main processor component as the simulated network device accessible to the main processor component through at least the simulated bus NIC and a simulated network that couples the simulated bus NIC to the simulated network device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to manage and securely store platform service records. An apparatus for monitoring a compute device, the apparatus comprising interface circuitry, non-volatile flash memory, machine readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to analyze telemetry data obtained via a sensor of the compute device, the analyzing of the telemetry data to detect an undesired event, and storing, in response to detection of the undesired event, the telemetry data in a ledger, wherein the ledger is digitally signed to prevent unauthorized modification and stored in the non-volatile flash memory.
