HARDWARE-ENFORCED ACCESS PROTECTION

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods related to hardware-enforced access protection. An example device may comprise a login agent module (LAM), an operating system login authentication module (OSLAM) and a secure user authentication module (SUAM). The LAM may be configured to cause a prompt requesting login information to be presented by the device. The LAM may then provide the login information to the OSLAM, which may be configured to authenticate the login information using known user information. If authenticated, the OSLAM may generate and transmit a signed login success message to the SUAM using a private key. The SUAM may be secure/trusted software loaded by device firmware, and may be configured to authenticate the signed login success message. If authenticated, the SUAM may transmit an encrypted authentication message to the OSLAM. If the encrypted authentication message is authenticated, the OSLAM may grant access to the device.
