Abstract
Systems and methods provide an Information Handling System (IHS) comprising a host processor module configured to host at least one smart device and a secure control module configured to host a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The BMC validates identities and determine capabilities of the at least one smart device using Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) messages. The BMC sends a network access identity to the at least one smart device using an SPDM message. The BMC receives a request for a network connection from the at least one smart device, wherein the request includes the network access identity. The BMC performs authentication server functions to approve the network connection request. The BMC then sends a message to the at least one smart device indicating that a port or NC-SI channel is authorized for network access.
