摘要： A method for a plurality of key cache managers for a plurality of localities to share cryptographic key storage resources of a security chip, includes: loading an application key into the key storage; and saving a restoration data for the application key by a key cache manager, where the restoration data can be used by the key cache manager to re-load the application key into the key storage if the application key is evicted from the key storage by another key cache manager. The method allows each of a plurality of key cache managers to recognize that its key had been removed from the security chip and to restore its key. The method also allows each key cache manager to evict or destroy any key currently loaded on the security chip without affecting the functionality of other localities.

摘要： A motherboard for a computer system is presented which provides a trusted platform by which operations can be performed with an increased level trust and confidence. The basis of trust for the motherboard is established by an encryption coprocessor and by code which interfaces with the encryption coprocessor and establishes root of trust metrics for the platform. The encryption coprocessor is built such that certain critical operations are allowed only if physical presence of an operator has been detected. Physical presence is determined by inference based upon the status of registers in the core chipset on the motherboard.

摘要： A method and system for manufacturing theft-deterrent computer components is disclosed. Initially, computer components are grouped in a single batch. Each of the computer components are then provided with multiple indelible indicia during manufacturing. All of the indelible indicia on each component have a common value that is different than that assigned to any other computer component.

摘要： Described is a computer system which is coupled to a remote computer via a network cable. The computer system has a normally closed enclosure and is capable of securing data retained within the system against unauthorized access. The computer system includes an erasable memory element mounted within the enclosure for selective activation to active and inactive states and for receiving and storing a security password when in the active state. A manually operable option switch is mounted within the enclosure. The option switch is operatively connected with the erasable memory element and manually settable by a user of the computer system for setting the erasable memory element to the active and inactive states. A cable removal detector is coupled to the enclosure and is operatively connected with the erasable memory element for detecting a disconnection of the cable and for clearing any stored security password from the erasable memory element in response to any switching of the cable removal detector between a first state and a second state.
