    Abstract: An example storage medium is described, wherein the storage medium comprises instructions that, when executed cause a processor of an electronic device to store a private key in a first memory of the electronic device. The controller also stores an encrypted version of a password and validity information defining a condition to the password's validity in a second memory of the electronic device. During a boot process of the electronic device, the controller may detect a failure to decrypt data stored in a third memory and, upon this detection, decrypt the encrypted version of the password using the private key, and determine, using the validity information, whether the password is valid. If the password is valid, the controller may input the decrypted password to a decryption service, wherein the decryption service is to decrypt the data stored in the third memory.

    Abstract: An example electronic device includes a storage circuit, a central processing unit (CPU) coupled to the storage circuit, and a controller coupled to the storage circuit. The CPU is to receive a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) update image for the electronic device, verify a signature of the BIOS update image, and responsive to verification of the BIOS update image, store a portion of the BIOS update image in the storage circuit. The controller is to obtain the portion of the BIOS update image from the storage circuit, and program the portion of the BIOS update image to a BIOS component of the electronic device.

    Abstract: The update progress of a basic input/output system (BIOS) is displayed on a display screen. A first chipset lock is applied to a first region of a shared serial peripheral interface (SPI) chip of the BIOS of a computer system containing a first program of instructions. A system management memory mode lock is applied to a second and a third region of the shared SPI chip containing a second and third programs of instructions respectively. The second program of instructions is updated, and control of the BIOS is transferred to the updated second program of instructions. The updated second program of instructions updates the first program of instructions. The BIOS update progress visual is displayed on the display screen of the computer system while updating the first program of instructions.
