Abstract
An example method includes retrieving, based on firmware map data stored in a firmware map, first portions of a system firmware while omitting retrieval of second portions to form a combined portion. The firmware map data is indicative of the first portions of the system firmware that remain unchanged over a normal lifetime of the system firmware, and the firmware map data is also indicative of the second portions of the system firmware that may vary over the normal lifetime of the system firmware. The method further includes calculating at least one master hash code based on the combined portion, and storing the at least one master hash code in a hash code table in association with the firmware map data.
