Abstract
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus is a BMC. The BMC obtains data to be written to a storage. A main processor of the BMC provides the data to a co-processor of the BMC. The co-processor encrypts the data into encrypted data. The co-processor stores the encrypted data to the storage.
Claims16
A method of operation of a baseboard management controller (BMC), the method comprising:
- obtaining data to be written to a storage;
- providing, by a main processor of the BMC, the data to a co-processor of the BMC;
- encrypting, by the co-processor, the data into encrypted data;
- and
- storing, by the co-processor, the encrypted data to the storage.
