Abstract
A boot image is modified to require authentication based on stable system values that are uniquely associated with a storage array. The stable system values may be used as a key to decrypt a password. The modified boot image will not allow booting to proceed without the decrypted password. The password cannot be decrypted based on different stable system values such as the stable system values of other storage arrays.
