Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for delegating, by a resource-constrained device, a privilege to a basic input/output system, wherein the privilege allows the basic input/output system to authenticate an endpoint device on behalf of the resource-constrained device. The system and method also includes generating an asymmetric security key that includes a private key and a public key and transmitting the public key to the basic input/output system, wherein the public key is included in a proxy certificate generated by the basic input/output system. In addition, the system and method includes establishing a secure session between the basic input/output system and the endpoint device using the private key and the proxy certificate, wherein the secure session is used by the basic input/output system to authenticate and verify that the endpoint device is authorized to perform an operation.
