  • Patent number: 11907409
    Abstract: A method for dynamic immutable security personalization for enterprise products. Specifically, the disclosed method describes how a computer processor (e.g., baseboard management controller) of an enterprise product can personalize security requirements in trusted facilities, along the supply chain route of the enterprise product, so that trusted assumptions concerning the enterprise product can be made. Further, through dynamic immutable security personalization, these trusted assumptions are allowed to change over time (e.g., from being less restrictive to more restrictive) as changing enterprise product configuration states are captured while the enterprise product traverses the supply chain route.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9069965
    Abstract: Firmware updates at an information handling system flash memory device, such as provisioning information stored on a USB device, are securely performed by using a buffer memory and a secured code. An application running on a CPU generates a firmware update and a security code, such as a ciphered hash code based on the firmware update, stores the firmware update and security code in a buffer, and informs a management processor of the update. The management processor analyzes the firmware update to authorize copying of the update from the buffer to the flash memory device. For instance, the management processor creates the security code from the firmware update and compares the created code with the security code stored in the buffer to validate the firmware update.
