摘要:
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to receive untrusted input data at an enclave in an electronic device, isolate the untrusted input data from at least a portion of the enclave, communicate at least a portion of the untrusted data to an integrity verification module using an attestation channel, and receive data integrity verification of the untrusted input data from the integrity verification module. The integrity verification module can perform data integrity attestation functions to verify the untrusted data and the data integrity attestation functions include a data attestation policy and a whitelist.

Architectures and techniques that allow a firmware agent to operate as a tamper-resistant agent on a host platform that may be used as a trusted policy enforcement point (PEP) on the host platform to enforce policies even when the host operating system is compromised. The PEP may be used to open access control and/or remediation channels on the host platform. The firmware agent may also act as a local policy decision point (PDP) on the host platform in accordance with an authorized enterprise PDP entity by providing policies if a host trust agent is non-responsive and may function as a passive agent when the host trust agent is functional.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for obtaining a pre-boot authentication (PBA) image from a full disk encryption disk in a pre-boot environment, executing the PBA using a chipset to obtain user credential information, authorizing the user based on the user credential information and stored credential information, and storing the user credential information in a PBA metadata region of the disk. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A method, apparatus and system enable a secure wireless platform. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention may utilize a secure processing area to enforce security mechanisms on the wireless platform, thus isolating the security measures (e.g., security keys) from the host operating system on the wireless node.

Technologies for verification include storage with private keys, wherein each private key is associated with a group affiliation. The storage also includes characteristic information about an apparatus. The technologies also include a wireless interface configured to receive a request from a reader for verification of membership of the apparatus within a group affiliation. The technologies further include a controller with programmable logic for configuring the controller to determine whether to verify membership of the apparatus within a given group affiliation. The controller is also configured to verify membership of the apparatus within the given group affiliation by signing data with a private key associated with the given group affiliation. The signed data is sent to the reader. Membership within the given group affiliation conveys a subset of the characteristic information.

Systems and methods may provide introducing a first root of trust on a platform to a second root of trust on the same platform. In one example, the method may include using an authenticated code module to transfer a first encryption key from a first root of trust on a platform to a second root of trust on the platform, receiving a challenge response from the first root of trust at the second root of trust, and using the first encryption key to verify the challenge response
摘要:
Methods and apparatus to perform associated extensions for negotiated channel security protocols are disclosed. A disclosed method to extend a security protocol comprises exchanging identifying information between a first and a second endpoint, determining a secret based on the exchanged identifying information, determining a first master secret based on the determined secret and a second master secret determined in a prior protocol exchange block, and deriving a session key based on the first master secret.

In an embodiment, an apparatus is provided that may include an integrated circuit to be removably communicatively coupled to at least one storage device. The integrated circuit of this embodiment may be capable of encrypting and/or and decrypting, based at least in part upon a first key, data to be, in at least in part, stored in and/or retrieved from, respectively, at least one region of the at least one storage device. The at least one region and a second key may be associated with at least one access privilege authorized, at least in part, by an administrator. The second key may be stored, at least in part, externally to the at least one storage device. The first key may be obtainable, at least in part, based, at least in part, upon at least one operation involving the second key. Of course, many alternatives, modifications, and variations are possible without departing from this embodiment.
摘要:
A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium containing instructions for controlling access to data stored on a plurality of storage devices associated with a first platform. The method includes authenticating a user to access the first platform, wherein the first platform includes first and second storage devices, chipset encryption hardware, and a memory. Data stored on the storage devices are encrypted, with first data on the first storage device being encrypted by the chipset encryption hardware and second data stored on the second storage device being encrypted by another encryption mechanism. The data are decrypted and the user is allowed to access the first data and the second data.
摘要:
A manageability engine (ME) receives an authentication response from a user during pre-boot authentication and registers the user with a key distribution center (KDC), indicating that the user has successfully authenticated to the PC. The KDC supplies the ME with single-sign-on credentials in the form of a Key Encryption Key (KEK). The KEK may later be used by the PC to obtain a credential used to establish secure access to Enterprise servers.
