Abstract
In some examples, a compute platform includes an electronic module having a memory storing platform data, and an attribute certificate containing a platform data measurement value based on portions of the platform data stored in respective memory regions of the memory in the electronic module. A processor performs validated access of the electronic module based on performing an initialization exchange with the electronic module, obtaining a platform data measurement value based on the platform data in the electronic module, and authenticating the platform data in the electronic module based on the obtained platform data measurement value and the platform data measurement value contained in the attribute certificate.
Claims16
A compute platform comprising:
- an electronic module comprising a memory storing platform data, and an attribute certificate containing a platform data measurement value based on portions of the platform data stored in respective memory regions of the memory in the electronic module;
- and
- a processor to perform validated access of the electronic module based on:
- performing an initialization exchange with the electronic module,
- obtaining a platform data measurement value based on the platform data in the electronic module, and
- authenticating the platform data in the electronic module based on the obtained platform data measurement value and the platform data measurement value contained in the attribute certificate.
