    Abstract: A method for monitoring control-flow integrity in a low-level execution environment, the method comprising receiving, at a monitor, a message from the execution environment indicating that the execution environment has entered a controlled mode of operation, receiving, at the monitor, a data packet representing execution of a selected portion of a control-flow process at the execution environment, identifying, using the data packet, a pathway corresponding to the selected portion of the control-flow process from a set of permissible control-flow pathways and determining whether the identified pathway corresponds to an expected control-flow behaviour.

    Abstract: Examples associated with basic input/output system (BiOS) security are described. One example includes detecting a mismatch between an active BiOS setting and a saved BIOS setting. An update previously applied to the active BiOS setting is validated. The update Is applied to the saved BIOS setting creating an updated BIOS setting. The saved BIOS setting is updated when the updated BIOS setting and the active BIOS setting match. The saved BIOS setting is updated to the active BIOS setting. A security action is taken when the updated BiOS setting and the active BiOS setting differ.
