Abstract:
Systems and methods for implementing a voucher to identify ownership rights of a computing component, within robust supply chain and owner domains, are disclosed. In an example, a computing device configuration includes a hardware component, trusted hardware circuitry to provide an embedded voucher for the hardware component, and storage memory to provide a voucher for validation of the hardware component. The embedded voucher includes an identifier for the hardware component and the identifier is generated on behalf of an original entity authorized to issue the identifier. The voucher includes a second identifier provided on behalf of a subsequent entity and the second identifier is generated based on the identifier for the hardware component included in the embedded voucher. The voucher may be used to the identify ownership rights in the hardware component for the original entity and the subsequent entity, to enable subsequent actions (such as onboarding, updates, etc.)
