Abstract: A management module of a managed computer is accessed via an out-or-band network. The management module communicates via a hypervisor with guest operating systems running in virtual machines on said managed computer.

Abstract: A control logic secures access to an electronic system. The control logic comprises an initialization logic and an operational logic. The initialization logic allocates access rights individually among a plurality of hardware and/or operation elements in the electronic system and individually secures the plurality of hardware and/or operation elements with electronic and/or software-activated access. The operational logic responds to attempted access by a user to authenticate hardware and/or operation elements and enable operation of the hardware and/or operation elements upon authentication.
