Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented during a pre-boot environment to authenticate a user in the basic input/output system (BIOS) of an information handling system, and to securely provision a resulting authentication token to post-boot operating system (OS) login components of the system. In addition, single sign-on user authentication may be performed during a pre-boot BIOS environment and then extended to the post-boot OS environment without requiring exchange of pins or other intermediary authentication factors between the OS and pre-boot authentication (PBA) for the user to gain access to the information handling system or other network resources.
