Computer System, Trusted Function Component, and Running Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18344240 Titled 'Computer System, Trusted Function Component, and Running Method'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a computer system that consists of two main components: a computing component and a trusted function component. The trusted function component includes a special chip called the out-of-band management chip.
The out-of-band management chip has the ability to establish a secure foundation of trust within itself by running secure firmware. It can then measure the trustworthiness of the computing component based on this foundation.
Based on the measurement result, the out-of-band management chip can control the computing component. This means that it can dictate what operations the computing component should perform.
In summary, this computer system uses the out-of-band management chip to establish trust, measure the trustworthiness of the computing component, and control its operations based on the measurement result.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer system includes a computing component and a trusted function component. The trusted function component includes an out-of-band management chip. The out-of-band management chip is configured to construct a root of trust in the out-of-band management chip by running secure firmware, perform trusted measurement on the computing component based on the root of trust, and control the computing component based on a trusted measurement result. The computing component is configured to perform, based on control of the out-of-band management chip, an operation indicated by the control of the out-of-band management chip.
