Abstract: A computer-implementable method may include, during execution of an installation image for installing an operating system on an information handling system performing mock measurements for one or more configuration registers of a cryptoprocessor of the information handling system based on values for the one or more configuration registers that will exist for a boot session of the information handling system immediately following installation of the operating system, extending the mock measurements into the one or more mock configuration registers, and storing an encryption key to the cryptoprocessor such that the encryption key is accessible to a subsequent boot session of the information handling system if the contents of the one or more configuration registers are equal to measurements performed by firmware of the information handling system during the subsequent boot session.

Abstract: A tool for removing resist material from the sides of conductive boards such as circuit boards wherein it is necessary to remove resist material which covers and surrounds passages which are provided through the conductive board. The tool includes a surface plate to support the board, a light source below the plate, a vertically shiftable cutting tool arranged below the surface plate and an inspection unit for visual and electronic inspection of the passage location mounted above the surface plate. Light passing from below the surface plate will be visible to the inspection unit as a board passage is located over the center of the cutting tool with the light passing through the supporting surface plate, the resist material and the board passage. When the passage is properly located, a clamp device is actuated to positively clamp the board into proper cutting position for removal of the resist material from the bottom side thereof.
