Abstract
An example system with a pre-OS (Operating System) environment, the pre-OS environment includes a private memory that is isolated from a processor of the system. The pre-OS environment also includes an embedded controller (EC) coupled to the private memory, where the EC includes an embedded key. The EC is to execute instructions to generate an encryption key based on the embedded key; generate a signature key; obtain data; produce an integrity-verification tag based on a hash of the obtained data, where the hash employs the signature key; encrypt the obtained data based on the encryption key; store the encrypted data in the private memory; and store the integrity-verification tag in the private memory in association with the stored encrypted data.
