Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for binding one or more components to an identification component of a hardware module. Each of the serial numbers for the one or more components are included within a module-specific authentication certificate that is stored within the identification component of the hardware module. When connected to a computing platform, an authentication system of the computing platform is capable of retrieving the module-specific authentication certificate. The authentication system can compare the list of serial numbers included in the module-specific authentication certificate with one or more serial numbers read over a first interface. If the two lists of serial numbers match, the authentication system can flag the hardware module as authenticate through authentication of all components of the hardware module.
