Abstract:
Systems and methods may be used to securely booting multiple devices. A method may include initiating a boot sequence at a first device in an array of devices, booting a first distributed boot executive (DBE) on the first device, updating a Platform Configuration Register (PCR) with a first boot measurement, sharing the first boot measurement with a second DBE on a second device of the devices before booting a next boot step at the first device, receiving a second boot measurement from the second DBE, and booting the first device into a next boot stage in response to receiving the second boot measurement from the second DBE.
