Abstract
A BMC holds a host computer in a reset state by asserting a reset signal to the host computer. The BMC accesses at least a part of a BIOS image of the host computer from a storage device shared between the BMC and the host computer while the host computer is held in the reset state. The BIOS image is protected based on a private key of a public key/private key pair. The BMC validates at least the part of the BIOS image based on a public key of the public key/private key pair. The BMC releases the reset signal to enable the host computer to start a boot process upon successful validation of at least the part of the BIOS image.
