Abstract:
A secure Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) attribute system includes a secure server system coupled to a computing device through a network. The computing device receives a first BIOS attribute modification request, and authenticates the first BIOS attribute modification request using a first certificate that was previously stored in the computing device in response to validating the first certificate based on a key provided by the secure server system. In response to authenticating the first BIOS attribute modification request using the first certificate, the computing device modifies at least one BIOS attribute stored in the computing device.
