REDUCING START UP TIMES IN DEVICE IDENTITY COMPOSITION ENGINE (DICE) DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17887330 titled 'REDUCING START UP TIMES IN DEVICE IDENTITY COMPOSITION ENGINE (DICE) DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that includes a storage array, a controller, and an auto-measure circuit that generates measurements for different layers of a boot sequence, compares them to golden measurements, updates flags, and shuts down the system.

  • The system includes a storage array, controller, and auto-measure circuit.
  • The auto-measure circuit generates measurements for different layers of a boot sequence.
  • The measurements are compared to golden measurements.
  • Flags associated with the layers are updated based on the comparison.
  • The controller is instructed to shut down the system after updating the flags.

Potential Applications

  • System security and integrity verification.
  • Boot sequence monitoring and management.

Problems Solved

  • Ensuring system boot sequence integrity.
  • Detecting unauthorized changes in the boot sequence.

Benefits

  • Enhanced system security.
  • Automated monitoring and shutdown capabilities.
  • Improved reliability of the boot sequence.


Original Abstract Submitted

In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a system including: a storage array; a controller configured to detect a shutdown event; and an auto-measure circuit configured to: generate a plurality of measurements corresponding to a plurality of layers of a boot sequence, each layer including executable code used to generate a respective measurement; compare the plurality of measurements to a respective plurality of golden measurements; update flags associated with the plurality of layers based on the comparing; and instruct the controller to shut down the system after updating the flags.
