Abstract:
In some examples, a privileged domain includes a function of a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). A request to access the function of the BIOS is routed to the privileged domain. The privileged domain determines whether to execute the function based on identifying at least one selected from among a source of the request and a context of the request.
