Examples disclosed herein relate to symmetrically encrypting a master passphrase key. In one implementation, a computing system includes a machine-readable storage medium to store a symmetrically encrypted master passphrase key, an encrypted version of a first passphrase key associated with a second machine-readable storage medium encrypted using the master passphrase key, and an encrypted version of a second passphrase key associated with a third machine-readable storage medium encrypted using the passphrase key. A processing resource may symmetrically encrypt the master passphrase key using an encryption key derived from authentication information and/or decrypt the stored master passphrase key using a decryption key derived from the authentication information.

Symmetrically encrypt a master passphrase key

A computing device that includes a plurality of memory devices and firmware to provide a migration data storage option that reserves a portion of a memory device to store, at least, encrypted metadata describing the physical layout information of the memory devices in preparation for migration of the memory devices.

Migration of memory devices

A method of installing a software package may include storing a software package coupon on a proximity tag coupled to a computing device; accessing the software package coupon and installing an operating system OS agent during an initial booting of the computing device; and with the OS agent, downloading and installing the software package.

Software package installations with proximity tags

In an example, an apparatus compatible with a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) system includes a processor resource and a computer-readable storage device with a set of instructions stored thereon. In that example, the instructions are executable to cause the UEFI system to verify an integrity status of a script file and an authenticity status of the script file, analyze contents of the script file in response to a determination that the script is authentic, establish a threshold on execution of the script file based on the analysis of the contents, and execute a control program concurrent with execution of the script to implement the threshold.
