Abstract
An information handling system that includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The information handling system may retrieve dock information in response to detecting a connection between an information handling system and a docking station. The information handling system may also transmit a first request for a dock firmware based on the dock information of the docking station subsequent to the detecting of the connection between the information handling system and the docking station. In addition, the information handling system may transmit a second request to the docking station to read a firmware block associated with the dock firmware received in response to the first request. Further, the information handling system may generate a hash based on the firmware block received in response to the second request and verify the hash by comparing the hash with a hash value included in the dock firmware.
