Abstract
Methods and systems for managing operation of a data processing system are disclosed. To do so, during a startup of the data processing system, a startup policy may be obtained. The startup policy may indicate that a first portion of hardware components of the data processing system may be used to evaluate a security posture of the data processing system during startup and a second portion of the hardware components may not be used to evaluate the security posture during startup. A measurement process may be performed based on a security protocol and data model (SPDM) security standard for the first portion to obtain first measurements. The security posture may be evaluated using a trusted platform module based on the first measurements. Operation of the data processing system may be managed based on the security posture to reduce a likelihood of the data processing system being compromised.
