A method for managing data includes obtaining, by a system control processor, a verification request for a logically composed system (LCS) associated with a tenant, in response to the verification request: identifying a corresponding trusted execution environment (TEE) associated with the tenant, sending a challenge question to the LCS for identity verification, obtaining, in response to the challenge question, a security response from the LCS, performing an identity verification for the LCS using a LCS-key pairing stored in secured storage of the TEE, making a determination, based on performing the identity verification, that the LCS is verified, and based on the determination, servicing a workload associated with the LCS.

Securely identifying logically composed systems using a trusted execution environment in a system control processor

In one embodiment, an information handling system may include a processor, a display that may provide a user interface allowing a user to select one or more system utilities to be accessed, memory that may include a plurality of memory partitions storing a plurality of system utilities, and a management controller. During a configuration of the information handling system, the management controller may receive a request from the user via the user interface to access one or more selected system utilities; identify one or more memory partitions storing the one or more selected system utilities; and cause the display to display one or more user-selectable icons corresponding to the one or more identified memory partitions to provide the user access to the one or more identified memory partitions.

Systems and methods for accessing system utilities

Portable information handling systems dynamically allocate resources to anti-malware functions based upon available resources and threat status. Dynamic allocation of resources to anti-malware functions provides a timely and targeted response to specific threats with resources dedicated based upon availability and the impact on other information handling system functions. An adaptive mobile integrity validation system interfaces with plural portable information handling systems to selectively update anti-malware settings as threats emerge.

Adaptive integrity validation for portable information handling systems

Firmware updates at an information handling system flash memory device, such as provisioning information stored on a USB device, are securely performed by using a buffer memory and a secured code. An application running on a CPU generates a firmware update and a security code, such as a ciphered hash code based on the firmware update, stores the firmware update and security code in a buffer, and informs a management processor of the update. The management processor analyzes the firmware update to authorize copying of the update from the buffer to the flash memory device. For instance, the management processor creates the security code from the firmware update and compares the created code with the security code stored in the buffer to validate the firmware update.

System and method for secure information handling system flash memory access

An information handling system includes a processor, a memory device coupled to the processor, and a dedicated system service repository (DSSR) coupled to the processor. The DSSR is configured to store a base image that includes a plurality of partitions and a first system configuration image, wherein the first system configuration image is stored in a first partition of the plurality of partitions, wherein the first system configuration image is configured to provide in-band and/or out-of-band managed access to the DSSR when executed; and by accessing the first system configuration image, the DSSR is populated with a second system configuration image, wherein the second system configuration image is stored in a second partition of the plurality of partitions.

In an information handling system, a universal serial bus (USB) key emulation system includes a USB hub operable to communicate with a USB host, a USB bus communicatively coupled with the USB hub, a USB controller communicatively coupled with the USB bus via a set of endpoints, and a USB virtual media module communicatively coupled with the USB controller and operable to communicate data between the USB controller and a plurality of data storage devices as if the plurality of data storage devices are a single USB key.
