Abstract
A BIOS settings runtime modification authentication system includes a computing device having a user interface subsystem, a TPM device storing a platform owner authentication value, and a BIOS subsystem including BIOS settings. The BIOS subsystem generates a secret and creates challenge information with the TPM device using the secret. The challenge information is configured to allow the TPM device to retrieve the secret from the challenge information in response to the receiving the platform owner authentication value. During runtime operations for the computing device, the BIOS subsystem provides the challenge information via the user interface subsystem, receives a BIOS authentication request and the secret via the user interface subsystem and, in response, modifies at least one of the BIOS settings.
