    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for maintaining and updating a secure boot process on a computer with a trusted platform module (TPM). A boot process may be maintained by inspecting a log of TPM activity, determining data that prevented a secret to unseal, and returning the data to an original state. In situations where this type of recovery is not workable, techniques for authenticating a user may be used, allowing the authenticated user to bypass the security features of the boot process and reseal the boot secrets to platform configuration register (PCR) values that may have changed. Finally, a secure boot process may be upgraded by migrating TPM sealed secrets to a temporary storage location, updating one or more aspects of a secure boot process, and resealing the secrets to the resulting new platform configuration. Other advantages and features of the invention are described below.

    摘要: In a computer with a trusted platform module (TPM), an expected hash value of a boot component may be placed into a platform configuration register (PCR), which allows a TPM to unseal a secret. The secret may then be used to decrypt the boot component. The hash of the decrypted boot component may then be calculated and the result can be placed in a PCR. The PCRs may then be compared. If they do not, access to the an important secret for system operation can be revoked. Also, a first secret may be accessible only when a first plurality of PCR values are extant, while a second secret is accessible only after one or more of the first plurality of PCR values has been replaced with a new value, thereby necessarily revoking further access to the first secret in order to grant access to the second secret.

    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling access to data on a computer with a secure boot process can provide a highly efficient mechanism for preventing future access to encrypted digital resources. This may be advantageous in a range of scenarios, for example where a computer is sold and assurance is desired that no stray private data remains on the hard disk. Data resources, for example all data associated with one or more particular hard disk partitions, may be encrypted. The decryption key may be available through a secure boot process. By erasing, altering, or otherwise disabling a secret, such as a decryption key or a process that obtains a decryption key, the data formerly accessible using such secret becomes inaccessible.
