Systems and methods for providing security in an electronic device

摘要

Security methods are provided. The method can include comparing a first device identifier (125) disposed within a component (120) with a second device identifier (135) disposed within an immutable memory (130). The component and the immutable memory can be disposed at least partially within an electronic device (110). The method can include starting the electronic device normally if the first device identifier corresponds to the second device identifier. The method can further include providing at least one indicator (150) if the first device identifier fails to correspond to the second device identifier. Security systems are also provided.

1. A security method, comprising:
comparing a first device identifier disposed within a component with a second device identifier disposed within an immutable memory;
wherein the component and the immutable memory are disposed at least partially within an electronic device, and at least a portion of the first device identifier is immutably disposed within the component;wherein each of the first device identifier and the second device identifier identify a hardware, software, and firmware configuration of the electronic device, and the comparing determines whether any of the hardware, software, and firmware of the electronic device has been compromised; starting the electronic device normally if the first device identifier corresponds to the second device identifier; and providing at least one indicator if the first device identifier fails to correspond to the second device identifier; and inhibiting a speed of the electronic device in response to the first device identifier failing to correspond to the second device identifier.
