Abstract: Technologies for verifying hardware components of a computing device include retrieving platform identification data of the computing device, wherein the platform identification data is indicative of one or more reference hardware components of the computing device, accessing hardware component identification data from one or more dual-headed identification devices of the computing device, and comparing the platform identification data to the hardware component identification data to determine whether a hardware component of the computing device has been modified. Each of the one or more dual-headed identification devices is secured to a corresponding hardware component of the computing device, includes identification data indicative of an identity of the corresponding hardware component of the computing device, and is capable of wired and wireless communication.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system on a chip includes: a single core to execute a legacy instruction set, the single core configured to enter a system management mode (SMM) to provide a trusted execution environment to perform at least one secure operation; and a memory controller coupled to the single core, the memory controller to interface with a system memory, where a portion of the system memory comprises a secure memory for the SMM, and the single core is to authenticate and execute a boot firmware, and pass control to the SMM to obtain a key pair from a protected storage and store the key pair in the secure memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In an example, a system and method are disclosed for location-based security for devices such as portable devices. A portable device may be provided with a short-range transceiver (such as RIFD) that is detectable when a user enters or exits an area. The device may also include an encrypted storage divided into a plurality of discrete units. Upon entering an area, the devices identity and location are provided to a policy server. In response, the policy server may wirelessly provide security tokens to the portable device that enable decryption of specific storage units authorized for access in that area. When a user passes back through a portal to the area, the security tokens are revoked, so that access to secured units of the storage is restricted.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to implementing a secure mailbox in resource-constrained embedded systems. An apparatus to establish communication with a trusted execution environment includes a processor component, a co-processor component for executing the trusted execution environment, a host operating system component for execution by the processor component and including one or more application components, a mailbox array component for execution by the co-processor to store one or more mailbox components, each mailbox component being associated with a mailbox identification number, and a mailbox firewall component for execution by the co-processor component to facilitate communication between the one or more application components and the one or more mailbox components. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to flexible bootstrap code architecture. A device may comprise equipment for operating the device and an operating system (OS) for operating the equipment A boor, module may also be included in the device to execute boot operations. At least one flexible boot (FB) module in the boot module may interact with the equipment and/or OS during the boot operations to cause the boot operations to become device-specific. An example boot module may comprise a plurality of FB modules. An example FB module may verify a device/chipset identification and may control the boot operations based on the identification. Other example FB modules may select resources to load based on an OS type, may provide a boot configuration table location for use in OS runtime boot configuration or may load variables from a preload variable directory for use in configuring boot operations.
