Multi-Path Zero Trust Boot Method to Support Context-Specific OEM Rebranding - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240346184 titled 'Multi-Path Zero Trust Boot Method to Support Context-Specific OEM Rebranding
The patent application describes methods for a mutable OEM identity to dynamically rebrand as part of a zero trust platform boot process.
- Implementing an OEM security context identity method to ensure trusted rebrand boot paths against tampered payloads.
- Supporting dynamic rebranding through multiple boot paths with context-specific mutable entities.
- Performing a bare metal deploy with an OEM security identity protocol for dynamic rebrand support.
- Creating a protected namespace in non-volatile storage for storing OEM-specific mutable entities.
Potential Applications: - Secure boot processes in electronic devices - OEM rebranding in hardware manufacturing
Problems Solved: - Ensuring trusted boot paths against tampered payloads - Supporting dynamic rebranding in OEM devices
Benefits: - Enhanced security in boot processes - Flexibility in rebranding for OEMs
Commercial Applications: Title: "Secure OEM Rebranding Technology for Hardware Manufacturers" This technology can be used by hardware manufacturers to enhance the security and flexibility of their rebranding processes, ensuring trusted boot paths and dynamic rebranding capabilities.
Questions about OEM Rebranding Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the security of boot processes in electronic devices?
This technology enhances security by implementing an OEM security context identity method to ensure trusted boot paths against tampered payloads.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond OEM rebranding?
This technology can also be used in various electronic devices that require secure boot processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed methods enable a mutable oem identity to dynamically perform context-specific rebranding as part of a zero trust platform boot. this zero trust rebrand (ztr) boot may implement an oem security context identity method to fully ensure trusted rebrand boot paths against tampered, vulnerable, or corrupted payloads while leveraging existing customer-agnostic secure boot flow. disclosed platforms may implement context-specific mutable entities via multiple boot paths to support the dynamic rebranding. a factory deploy engine may perform a bare metal deploy with a disclosed oem security identity protocol, initialized by enumerating, for each of one or more oems, all oem context attributes required for dynamic rebrand support. the rebrand protocol may create a protected namespace in non-volatile storage, e.g., a serial peripheral interface (spi) flash area, to perform a once-only store of all oem-specific mutable entities.
