Abstract: A communication control device controls communication between a BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) and a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller). The device includes a processor that performs a process of an OS (Operating System) and a process of the BIOS. When a communication request for communication with the BMC occurs from the BIOS or OS, the processor performs a process associated with the communication request by dividing it into a first process and a second process. The first process is configured to store contents of the communication request and make the OS restart a process without performing the communication between the BIOS and the BMC in response to the communication request. The second process is configured to actually perform the communication between the BIOS and the BMC in response to the stored communication request.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, comprising: a decryption request unit that issues a decryption request for decrypting a encrypted target program at the time of the start of execution of the target program; a decryption unit that receives said decryption request from said decryption request unit, decrypts said encrypted target program and writes the so-decrypted target program into a first memory; an erasure request unit that issues an erasure request for erasing said decrypted target program at the time of the completion of execution of the target program; and an erasure unit that receives said erasure request from said erasure request unit and erases said decrypted target program from said first memory.
