TRUSTED ORCHESTRATOR FUNCTION SUBSYSTEM INVENTORY AND VERIFICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17828119 titled 'TRUSTED ORCHESTRATOR FUNCTION SUBSYSTEM INVENTORY AND VERIFICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that verifies and manages function subsystems in a computer system. Here are the key points:

  • The system includes an operating system (OS), a basic input/output system (BIOS), a management device, and a trusted orchestrator device.
  • During runtime, when a function subsystem is presented to the OS, it generates a detection alert that identifies the subsystem.
  • In response to the alert, the BIOS generates an inventory update that identifies the subsystem.
  • The management device receives the inventory update and forwards it.
  • The trusted orchestrator device receives the inventory update and determines if the subsystem is included in a trusted inventory.
  • If the subsystem is trusted, the orchestrator allows the OS to use it. If not, it prevents the OS from using it.


Original Abstract Submitted

A trusted orchestrator function subsystem inventory and verification system includes an OS, a BIOS, a management device, and a trusted orchestrator device. In response to presentation of a function subsystem to the OS during runtime, the OS generates a function subsystem detection alert that identifies the function subsystem. In response to the function subsystem detection alert, the BIOS generates and provides a BIOS inventory update that identifies the function subsystem. The management device receives the BIOS inventory update and, in response, forwards the BIOS inventory update. The trusted orchestrator device receives the BIOS inventory update and, in response, determine whether the function subsystem identified in the BIOS inventory update is included in a trusted function subsystem inventory. If so, the trusted orchestrator device allows the operating system to utilize the function subsystem while, if not, the trusted orchestrator device prevents the operating system from utilizing the function subsystem.
