  • Publication number: 20230214492
    Abstract: A computer system for failing a secure boot in a case tampering event comprises a microcontroller unit (MCU); a trusted platform module (TPM), for generating random bytes for a secure boot of the computer system; a bootloader, for storing information comprising the random bytes in the MCU and at least one hardware of the computer system and performing the secure boot, wherein the TPM is comprised in the bootloader; an operating system (OS), for performing the secure boot; and at least one sensor, coupled to the MCU, for detecting a case tampering event, and transmitting a signal for triggering a deletion of the random bytes, if the case tampering event happens. The MCU performs the operation of deleting the random bytes stored in the MCU and the at least one hardware according to a power supply, in response to the signal.

  • Publication number: 20230214493
    Abstract: A computer system for failing a secure boot in a case tampering event comprises a trusted platform module (TPM), for generating a plurality of random bytes for a secure boot of the computer system; a bootloader, for storing information in at least one hardware of the computer system and performing the secure boot, wherein the information comprises the plurality of random bytes, and the TPM is comprised in the bootloader; an operating system (OS), for performing the secure boot; and at least one sensor, for detecting a case tampering event in the computer system, and transmitting a signal for triggering a deletion of the plurality of random bytes, if the case tampering event happens in the computer system. The bootloader or the OS performs the operation of deleting the plurality of random bytes stored in the at least one hardware to fail the secure boot, in response to the signal.
