Abstract
An unreversible command is verified and validated pre-execution in an IHS, and execution of the unreversible command is authenticated in the IHS with (a) physical component(s). The physical component(s) may be a pair of pre-registered disks-on-keys (DOKs), wherein the DOKs are simultaneously connected to pre-registered slots of the IHS, and a determination is made whether a serial number of each respective pre-registered DOK is correlated with a respective pre-registered slot number (and IHS motherboard serial number) in a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) of the IHS. Alternatively, or additionally, (the) (a) physical component(s) may be (a) physical token(s) (DOK(s)) produced when a pre-approval for execution of the unreversible command on the IHS is granted, wherein (a) security attribute(s) for execution of the unreversible command on the IHS is/are set and the physical token is signed with a public key which matches a private key stored in a TPM of the IHS.
