Abstract:
Examples disclosed herein relate to performing a security action based on a comparison of digital signatures. An intrusion detection mode is initiated by a baseboard management controller. A first digital signature of hardware devices is calculated during the activation of the intrusion detection mode. The first digital signature is stored. Upon detection of a trigger, a second digital signature is calculated for the current hardware devices. The digital signatures are compared. A security action is performed based on the comparison.
