Abstract: Examples associated with cryptographic key security are described. One example system includes a secure storage accessible to a basic input/output system (BIOS). A BIOS security module stores an authorization value in a fixed location in the secure storage. The authorization value is stored by the BIOS during a boot of the system. A cryptographic key module reads the authorization value from the fixed location, overwrites the authorization value in the fixed location, and obtains a cryptographic key using the authorization value.

Abstract: An example computing device includes a processor, a first storage device, and a second storage device. The second storage device stores instructions to implement a firmware. The firmware is to install an agent application into the first storage device. The firmware is also to activate the agent application subsequent to installing the agent application. The firmware is further to, in response to receiving a manifest file, instruct the agent application to monitor the computing device based on the manifest file.

Abstract: In example implementations, a method for generating a time slot in a meetings scheduling application and an apparatus for performing the same is provided. The method is performed by a processor of a device executing the meeting scheduling application. The method includes detecting a meeting time slot that is scheduled in a meeting scheduling application. A time period for a time slot is determined in response to detecting the meeting time slot that is scheduled. The time slot for the time period that is determined is generated. A graphical representation of the meeting time slot in the meeting scheduling application is modified to include the time slot for the time period that is determined adjacent to an end time of the meeting time slot.

Abstract: In an example, an apparatus compatible with a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) system includes a processor resource and a computer-readable storage device with a set of instructions stored thereon. In that example, the instructions are executable to cause the UEFI system to verify an integrity status of a script file and an authenticity status of the script file, analyze contents of the script file in response to a determination that the script is authentic, establish a threshold on execution of the script file based on the analysis of the contents, and execute a control program concurrent with execution of the script to implement the threshold.
