摘要： An embedded security subsystem, and method for implementing the same, which provide secure controllability of a data security device within a data processing system. The embedded security subsystem of the present invention includes a persistent enable flag for providing control access to the data security device, wherein the persistent enable flag is accessible only in response to a power-on reset cycle of the data processing system. The persistent enable flag is read-only accessible to runtime program instructions. A pending state change flag that is write accessible by runtime program instructions is utilized for setting an intended next state of the persistent enable flag such that control access to the data security device is enabled only during a subsequent power-on reset of said data processing system.

摘要： In a computer network including a plurality of interconnected computers, one of the computers being a sleeping computer in a power down state, the sleeping computer listening for a packet associated with the sleeping computer, a method and system of waking the sleeping computer from the computer network. An incoming packet of data is transmitted from one of the computers in the network to the sleeping computer. When the sleeping computer detects the incoming packet, it determines if the incoming packet contains a data sequence associated with the sleeping computer. Further, the sleeping computer compares a transit value in the incoming packet to a predetermined value stored at the sleeping computer. The transit value indicates how far the data packet has traveled through the network, indicating the approximate origin of the data packet. Knowing the approximate origin of the data packet allows the client system to identify if the data packet originated from an external network. The predetermined value represents an origin within the internal network. Accordingly, if the incoming packet matches the particular data sequence associated with the sleeping computer, and the transit value in the packet matches the predetermined value stored at the sleeping computer, then a signal is issued to wake the sleeping computer. Otherwise, the incoming packet is discarded and the sleeping computer is not awaken.

摘要： A method, system, and program for selecting and implementing a basic input/output system (“BIOS”) configuration among various BIOS configurations for a data processing system are disclosed. Different BIOS configurations are defined for various types of users, such as a home user, a commercial user, and a network user. Each of the BIOS configurations includes a different set of BIOS characteristics, such as program setup features security features, and network server features, under which the data processing system is able to run. The different BIOS configurations are stored into a memory device for the data processing system. A designation is set within the memory device that directs a processor of the data processing system to select and execute a desired one of the BIOS configurations for a particular type of user.

摘要： A data processing system and method are described for permitting a server computer system to remotely provide a client computer system's settings password to the client computer system. The client and server computer systems are coupled together utilizing a network. A network settings password is established within the client. The network settings password is required prior to permitting access to system settings included within the client. The client receives the network settings password from the server computer system utilizing the network. Access to the system settings is permitted in response to the receipt of the network settings password. In this manner, the server computer system remotely provides a network settings password to the client computer system.

摘要： Improved handling of couplable device recognition tasks in an electronic device such as a cell phone, smart phone, computer system, recording device or others is facilitated. Recognition of a couplable device such as a battery so as to enable exchange of power between the device and the battery or other couplable device functionality is determined by a match between one of a plurality of digital strings stored in the device and the decrypted response to an encrypted challenge derived from the one of stored strings. Control is exercised over the distribution of the encryption elements which enable the improved handling of the tasks.

摘要： An approach is provided that receives an audio request from a request source while an information handling machine, such as a computer system, is in a muted state. The request source is compared with a list of one more un-mute sources stored in a memory. If the comparison reveals that the request source is included in the list of un-mute sources, then the audio request is audibly played.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for suspend-resume scheduling in conjunction with an operation requiring a suspend-resume cycle of a computer 200, including updating, for purposes of system configuration management, a non-volatile memory 506, such as an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (“EEPROM”) 702. A control module 402 sends 806 a request to update the EEPROM 702. A suspend module 404 suspends 818 an operating system 204. A standby module 406 prepares 904 the computer 200 to enter a standby state, estimates 914 a sufficient amount of time to enter the standby state, places 916 the estimate into an alarm register 608, and then enters 918 the standby state. An update module 308 exits 1004 the standby state in response to an alarm signal 612, receives the request if present 1008, writes 1012 the EEPROM 702 with the updated information, and resumes 1018 the operating system 204.

摘要： A method, computer program product and system for reducing the boot time of a TCPA based computing system. A flash memory in the TCPA based computing system may include a register comprising bits configured to indicate whether the segments of the flash memory have been updated. The flash memory may further include a table configured to store measurements of the segments of the flash memory. The flash memory may further include a boot block code that includes a Core Root of Trust for Measurement (CRTM). The CRTM may read the bits in the register to determine if any of the segments of the flash memory have been updated. The CRTM may further obtain the measurement values in the table for those segments that store the POST BIOS code that have not been updated thereby saving time from measuring the POST BIOS code and consequently reducing the boot time.
