Abstract
Disclosed methods enable a mutable OEM identity to dynamically perform context-specific rebranding as part of a zero trust platform boot. This zero trust rebrand (ZTR) boot may implement an OEM security context identity method to fully ensure trusted rebrand boot paths against tampered, vulnerable, or corrupted payloads while leveraging existing customer-agnostic secure boot flow. Disclosed platforms may implement context-specific mutable entities via multiple boot paths to support the dynamic rebranding. A factory deploy engine may perform a bare metal deploy with a disclosed OEM security identity protocol, initialized by enumerating, for each of one or more OEMs, all OEM context attributes required for dynamic rebrand support. The rebrand protocol may create a protected namespace in non-volatile storage, e.g., a serial peripheral interface (SPI) flash area, to perform a once-only store of all OEM-specific mutable entities.
