Abstract
A platform to support verification of the contents of an input-output device. The platform includes a platform hardware, which may verify the contents of the I/O device. The platform hardware may comprise components such as manageability engine and verification engine that are used to verify the contents of the I/O device even before the contents of the I/O device are exposed to an operating system supported by a host. The platform components may delete the infected portions of the contents of I/O device if the verification process indicates that the contents of the I/O device include the infected portions.
Claims22
A method to verify contents of an input-output (I/O) device in a computing system comprising:
- verifying the contents of the I/O device using hardware components before the contents of the I/O device are exposed to an operating system for auto-play.
An apparatus to verify contents of an input-output (I/O) device comprising:
- a platform hardware coupled to the I/O device, wherein the platform hardware is to verify the contents of the I/O device before the contents of the I/O device are exposed to an operating system for an auto-play.
