摘要:
A method and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes computing, during runtime, an active hash value of a hypervisor on a computer platform using an authenticated integrity agent. The method also includes comparing the active hash value to a registered hash reference value. The method also includes verifying the integrity of the hypervisor when the active hash value and the registered hash reference value match.

A method and system for providing keyboard, video, and mouse switching includes establishing a basic input/output system (BIOS) agent and an operating system (OS) agent on a server of a plurality of servers. The basic input/output system agent routes input/output data between the server and a remote keyboard, remote video device, and/or remote mouse over a network during a pre-boot phase of the server. The operating system agent routes input/output data between the server and the remote keyboard, remote video device, and/or remote mouse over the network during a runtime phase of the server. The basic input/output agent may pass data to the operating system agent to indicate that a communication connection has been established between the server and the remote keyboard, remote video device, and/or remote mouse.

In some embodiments, approaches may provide an out-of-band (OOB) agent to protect a platform. The OOB agent may be able to use non-TRS methods to measure and protect an in-band security agent. In some embodiments, a manageability engine can provide out of band connectivity to the in-band and out-of-band security agents and provide access to the system memory resources without having to rely on OS services. This can be used for a trusted anti-malware and remediation service.

A method and device for providing a secure scan of a data storage device from a remote server are disclosed. In some embodiments, a computing device may include an in-band processor configured to execute an operating system and at least one host driver, communication circuitry configured to communicate with a remote server, and an out-of-band (OOB) processor capable of communicating with the remote server using the communication circuitry irrespective of the state of the operating system. The OOB processor may be configured to receive a block read request from the remote server, instruct the at least one host driver to send a storage command to a data storage device, receive data retrieved from the data storage device and authentication metadata generated by the data storage device, and transmit the data and the authentication metadata to the remote server.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and computing devices configured to establish secure out-of-band storage control. In various embodiments, a management module in a client device may be used to communicate with a server device independent of an operating system of the client device, to facilitate remote storage services. Other embodiments may be disclosed and claimed.
摘要:
A system management request for a system management function is received from a virtual machine. A successful status is returned to the virtual machine in response to the system management request. A system management function is performed in response to the system management request and an aggregation of other system management requests directed to the system management function made by other virtual machines.
摘要:
A management engine may be used to trap configuration cycles during the boot process and thereafter in response to operating system enumeration. As a result, a virtual bus device can be created. The bus device may be used to provision software to the platform even when the operating system is corrupted or non-functional.
摘要:
In one embodiment of the invention, a server may send encrypted material to a client. The client processor may decrypt and process the material, encrypt the results, and send the results back to the server. This sequence of events may occur while the execution or processing of the material is restricted to the client processor. Any material outside the client processor, such as material located in system memory, will be encrypted.
