Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for securing an information handling system. A method for securing an information handling system may include securing the information handling system in an enclosure with a locking mechanism of a bezel; receiving a request to unlock the bezel at a baseboard management controller (BMC), the BMC communicatively coupled to the bezel; retrieving a first artifact stored in a trusted platform module (TPM) in response to the request; attempting to authorize the request using the first artifact; and unlocking the locking mechanism if the request is authorized.
