Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to determine, utilizing a firmware-based agent running in firmware, a boot flag status during a boot process of the processing device. The processing device is also configured to execute, responsive to the boot flag status being a first value, a system update handler of the firmware-based agent configured for provisioning of a secured runtime operating system on the processing device, wherein the provisioning comprises digitally signing an image of the secured runtime operating system utilizing a hardware-based root of trust key. The processing device is further configured to execute, responsive to the boot flag status being a second value, a secured operating system boot handler of the firmware-based agent configured for validating and loading secured runtime operating system, wherein the validation comprises performing attestation of a signature of the image of the secured runtime operating system utilizing the hardware-based root of trust key.
