  • Configuring a trusted platform module
    Patent number: 10489596
    Abstract: A method includes storing configuration data for a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in a pre-boot environment such as Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), reading the configuration data, and automatically configuring the TPM based upon the configuration data. The configuring includes storing values of TPM parameters in non-volatile memory of the TPM. A method includes UEFI firmware of a circuit board on an assembly line configuring a TPM. An information handling system includes UEFI firmware and a TPM. The UEFI firmware configures the TPM from a configuration file stored in memory of the UEFI firmware.
    Type: Grant
