  • Patent number: 10783253
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a hardware structure of a trusted computer, which comprises: a trusted socket and a trusted module compatible with TPM and TPCM specifications; a trusted management module connected to the trusted socket for measuring the credibility; a firmware memory of BIOS connected to the trusted socket. A firmware memory of BMC connected to the trusted socket through a switch module. When the trusted management module is in the standby status, the trusted management module measures the credibility of the firmware memory of the BIOS and the firmware memory of the BMC according to the output signal of the trusted module inserted to the trusted socket, and the computer is allowed being turning on as the measurement is pass. This disclosure further relates to a trusted booting method for a computer.

  • Publication number: 20180004697
    Abstract: A control system includes a first expander board and a second expander board. The first expander board selects a first data segment from a first data signal according to a first clock signal. The second expander board is electrically connected to the first expander board. The second expander board is configured to receive the first data segment and the first clock signal of the first expander board. The second expander board selects a second data segment from a second data signal according to a second clock signal and sequentially outputs the first data segment and the second data segment. The sequentially output form of the first data segment and the second data segment from the second expander board is a serial data signal.
