Abstract: The method comprises: determining if a system is compatible with an up-binning or down-binning of a hardware resource 110 of the system through RFID tag 114 communication 121; receiving instructions from a remote server 122 and database 124 to upgrade the hardware resource if the system is compatible; and programming the hardware resource based on the instructions, wherein the programming includes unleashing further capabilities in the hardware item or resource. The hardware resource may be programmed by use of programmable fuses to enable circuitry of the hardware resource. The result of the programming, or re-configuring, may be to increase or decrease the clock-speed of a chip.

Abstract: The method entails changing the performance, or clock-rate, of packaged chips 110, or similar hardware resource, prior to sale or shipping. The process of changing the clock-rate is known as up-binning or down-binning. The process is carried out using an RFID tag 114 that is in communication with the hardware resource. The tag and the chip may be formed on the same substrate. The tag receives instructions by RF communications 121 from a remote server 122 to upgrade or downgrade the hardware resource. The hardware resource is then programmed based on the instructions received via the RF communication means. In some cases the method first determines if the hardware resource system is compatible with an up-binning or down-binning. In one embodiment, the hardware resource may be programmed by use of programmable fuses to enable circuitry of the hardware resource.

Abstract: Technologies for secure offline activation of hardware features include a target computing device having a platform controller hub (PCH) including a converged security and manageability engine (CSME) and a number of in-field programmable fuses (IFPs). During assembly of the target computing device by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), the CSME is provided a list of hardware features to be activated. The CSME configures the IFPs to enable the requested features, generates a digital receipt including the activated features and a unique device ID, and signs the receipt using a unique device key. Signed receipts may be periodically submitted to a vendor computing device, which verifies the signed receipts, extracts the active feature list, and bills the OEM for activated features of the PCHs. The vendor computing device may bill the OEM a maximum price for PCHs for which there is no associated signed receipt. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Es wird eine Mikrodienst-Infrastruktur bereitgestellt, die die Aktualität von Rechenplattform-Mikrodiensten, die in einer prozessbasierten virtuellen Maschine implementiert sind, sicher aufrechterhält. Die durch die Infrastruktur gepflegten Rechenplattform-Mikrodienste können geschützte Methoden beinhalten, die den Zugang zu Komponenten der zugrunde liegenden Rechenumgebung bereitstellen und steuern. Diese Komponenten können beispielsweise Speichergeräte, Peripheriegeräte und Netzwerkschnittstellen beinhalten. Durch Bereitstellung eines Software-definierten Microservice-Layers zwischen diesen Hardware-Komponenten und Workflows, die eine störsichere Anwendungslogik spezifizieren, weisen die hier offenbarten Ausführungsformen eine im Vergleich zur herkömmlichen Technologie verbesserte Flexibilität und Skalierbarkeit auf.
