Abstract:
An information handling system includes a processor, a baseboard management controller (BMC) agent that establishes a Transport Layer Security (TLS) session including a first cryptographic parameter shared between the BMC and the BMC agent, receives a request to register the BMC agent with the BMC via the TLS session, and provides a second cryptographic parameter to the BMC agent. The BMC establishes a second TLS session including a third cryptographic parameter, determines that the second TLS session is suspected of being from a malicious agent, and renegotiates with the BMC agent using the second cryptographic parameter within the TLS session to share a fourth cryptographic parameter between the BMC and the first BMC agent in response to determining that the second TLS session is suspect.
