SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING A COMPUTER BOOT

摘要

A method for securing a computer boot is provided. In this method, integrity measurements of program code being loaded for execution are taken during the computer boot, and the integrity measurements are stored in a system board trusted platform module (SBTPM). Subsequently, the integrity measurements are transferred from the SBTPM to a trusted platform module peripheral (TPMP) when the TPMP is initialized and accessible. Systems for securing a computer boot are also described.
