Original Abstract Submitted
In some examples, an electronic device includes a port and a controller. The controller compares an encrypted identifier received via a side-band communications channel of the port to a trusted identifier retrieved from a storage device. Responsive to the encrypted identifier being equivalent to the trusted identifier, the controller compares an encrypted user credential received via the port to a trusted user credential retrieved from the storage device. Responsive to the encrypted user credential being equivalent to the trusted user credential, the controller enables a user access to the electronic device.
