Abstract: An information handling system includes a processor, a permanent data storage device, and a non-volatile data storage device. The processor receives a request to store an object to the non-volatile data storage device, stores the object to a secure portion of the permanent data storage device, and evaluates the request to determine whether or not the request is valid. When the first request is valid, the processor transfers the object from the secure portion of the permanent data storage device to the non-volatile data storage device. When the first request is not valid, the processor ignores the request and discards the object.

Abstract: An information handling system may include a processor and first non-transitory computer-readable media communicatively coupled to the processor and having stored thereon a basic input/output system (BIOS) core comprising BIOS core firmware sufficient to execute features of a BIOS of the information handling system to a particular portion of BIOS execution and an extension agent configured to identify and enumerate a firmware volume of a second non-transitory computer-readable media communicatively coupled to the processor and having stored thereon a BIOS extension comprising BIOS extension firmware for executing completion of BIOS execution from the particular portion of BIOS execution.
