Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods for validating hardware modifications of an IHS (Information Handling System) by confirming that a hardware modification corresponds to a hardware component supplied for installation in the IHS by a trusted entity. During factory provisioning of an IHS, an inventory certificate that specifies the factory installed IHS hardware is uploaded to the IHS and is also stored for ongoing support of the IHS. Upon a hardware component being supplied for installation in the IHS by a trusted entity, the inventory of the stored inventory certificate is updated to identify the supplied component and the updated certificate is transmitted to the IHS. An inventory of detected hardware components of the IHS is compared against the inventory from the updated inventory certificate in order to validate the detected hardware of the IHS includes the component, supplied by the trusted entity, that is identified in the updated inventory certificate.

Abstract: For providing recommendations for bill of materials revision, a database is storing bills of materials for a set of products. A pattern learning module processes the stored bills of materials to learn patterns. Embodiments for learning structural and temporal patterns are provided. A pattern application module applies the patterns to a current bill of materials for a product of interest and forecasts recommendations, with each recommendation indicating how the current bill of materials should be updated. A user interface outputs the recommendations along with the applied patterns and their confidence values. The method and system provide an automized framework that forecasts revision for products. That framework helps to boost product quality by avoiding late recognition of change needs that would most likely negatively impact product and cost performance. Automatically assessing the change needs reduces hours spent by domain experts on these tasks, which saves internal costs.

Abstract: A method for determining whether a secure transaction between a user computing device and a server, connected via a network, is controlled remotely via a remote access tool. The method includes, during the secure transaction, actively perturbing and/or probing the network to change the conditions in the network. During perturbing of the network, data relating to user interactions with a user interface associated with the user computing device is collected and compared to reference data relating to user interactions carried out prior to the secure transaction or prior to perturbing of the network. Based on the comparison, a probability that the secure transaction is carried out via a remote access tool is computed and is compared to a predefined threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the secure transaction is terminated.
