Abstract
In one implementation, a system for peripheral device security includes a hardware interface coupled to an out-of-band manager, and the out-of-band manager is to: authorize a peripheral device via the hardware interface; and load instructions from the peripheral device to a host interface.
Claims15
A system for peripheral device security, comprising:
- a hardware interface coupled to an out-of-band manager;
- and
- the out-of-band manager to:
- authorize a peripheral device via the hardware interface;
- and
- load instructions from the peripheral device to a host interface.
3 more elements
A system for peripheral device security, comprising:
- an user authorization engine to authorize credentials of a user and authorize a physical location of the user;
- a device authorization engine to determine a device type of a peripheral device coupled to a hardware interface of the system and to determine if the user is authorized to utilize the device type;
- an instruction engine to determine a number of authorized instructions for the peripheral device based on the device type;
- and
- a loader engine to load authorized instructions from the peripheral device to a host interface of the system and exclude unauthorized instructions from the peripheral device.
2 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor for peripheral device security, wherein the instructions are executable to:
- authorize a user and a corresponding peripheral device coupled to a hardware interface;
- receive a number of instructions from the peripheral device via the hardware interface;
- determine authorized instructions for the peripheral device based on an identity of the authorized user and a determined device type of the peripheral device;
- load authorized instructions from the number of instructions to a host interface via a virtual host controller and exclude unauthorized instructions from the peripheral device.
