==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.
