    摘要: According to embodiments of the present invention, host platform device includes an embedded firmware agent that may detect an attempt by the host platform device to fully connect to a network. The firmware agent may restrict traffic between the host platform device and the network to bootstrap traffic, test the device to determine device vulnerability, may temporarily stop access to other peripheral devices, and transmit a report of the device vulnerability to a remote policy server. After the test(s) are performed, the firmware agent may receive an indication from the remote policy server as to whether the device is permitted to fully connect to the network and, if so, whether there are any further restrictions on traffic flow, for example, and if the peripheral device access may be allowed.

    摘要: Embodiments of apparatus, articles, methods, and systems for secure platform voucher service for software components within an execution environment are generally described herein. An embodiment includes the ability for a Virtual Machine Monitor, Operating System Monitor, or other underlying platform capability to restrict memory regions for access only by specifically authenticated, authorized and verified software components, even when part of an otherwise comprised operating system environment. A provisioning remote entity or gateway only needs to know a platform's public key or certificate hierarchy in order to receive verification proof for any component in the platform. The verification proof or voucher helps to assure to the remote entity that no man-in-the-middle, rootkit, spyware or other malware running in the platform or on the network will have access to the provisioned material. The underlying platform to lock and unlock secrets on behalf of the authenticated/authorized/verified software component provided in protected memory regions only accessible to the authenticated/authorized/verified software component. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
