    Patent number: 11698969
    Abstract: Techniques for measuring firmware at the point and time of execution are described. Hardware logic can be implemented in a processing unit that is tasked with executing firmware code to make on-the-fly measurements of the instructions being executed by the processing unit. For example, an instruction register that stores instructions being executed by the processing unit can be monitored to obtain a set of instructions corresponding to the firmware being executed. Firmware verification circuitry can be implemented to compute a cryptographic measurement of the instructions being executed to verify the authenticity of the firmware.
