Abstract
A BIOS module provisioning sequence verification system includes a BIOS subsystem coupled to a TPM and a BIOS storage system including a plurality of firmware volumes. The BIOS subsystem provides a plurality of BIOS modules in a BIOS module provisioning sequence using the plurality of firmware volumes and, for each of the plurality of BIOS modules when that BIOS module is provided during the BIOS module provisioning sequence: retrieves a BIOS module identifier associated with that BIOS module, and updates BIOS module provisioning sequence information using that BIOS module identifier. Following the provisioning of the BIOS modules in the BIOS module provisioning sequence, the BIOS subsystem provides the BIOS module provisioning sequence information to the TPM, with the BIOS module provisioning sequence information configured to be compared to BIOS module provisioning sequence verification information to verify the BIOS module provisioning sequence.
