Problems solved by technology

[0003]Because the BIOS is solidified on the system ROM chip, it basically completes the mission after the normal boot system starts, so the security of the system BIOS is relatively high, and because the BMC itself provides the standard IPMI protocol support, and various access methods such as WEB, SSH, RS232, TFTP, etc. These access methods leave many hidden dangers to malicious intruders. For example, intruders can directly obtain user login information by injecting malicious codes And system configuration information, you can also log in through SSH to obtain out-of-band management control of the server, so if these security risks are not repaired, it will inevitably bring great crises and risks to server access

Embodiment

[0050] The other features and advantages of the present invention will be described below through an embodiment, and the purpose and advantages of the present invention can be clearly seen through the structures indicated in the accompanying drawings, and are easy to realize and obtain.

[0051] attached figure 1 For the implementation flow chart of the present invention based on WEB firmware security enhancement, as figure 1 As shown, it mainly includes WEBHTTPS security reinforcement, as well as eliminating the risk of malicious code injection on the WEB-side user interface based on HTTPS access, and managing functional modules by level and authority. The specific process is described as follows:

[0052] Step 1: WEBHTTPS security reinforcement, adding SSL / TLS on the basis of the original HTTP protocol, that is, adding a module for processing encrypted information. The information transmission of WEBClient and WEBServer will be encrypted by TLS before transmission. In thi...

Abstract

The invention provides a server-oriented safe firmware designing method. The safety of firmware used for a server is guaranteed through various measures, and the remote WEB access safety of the server is mainly guaranteed through an Https-access mode. Access safety of users of different authority levels is controlled by managing the user authority of a function module, and malicious code injection points in an access interface are blocked. User names and passwords in firmware compiling and mirror image generating processes are subjected to an MD5 encryption algorithm, so that user information safety is improved. Safety protecting is carried out in the mode that authority is added to a module with a specific function and License is given to the module with the specific function. Third-party IPMI access safety is enhanced by shutting down the functions related to user authority adding, modifying and default in an IPMI protocol. External access safety of server firmware is enhanced by shutting down an access service program in a system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention designs a server technology, specifically a server-oriented secure firmware design method. Background technique [0002] Servers play an important role in all aspects of today's society. Whether it is national defense, science and technology, education, finance and insurance, or banking, medical care, tobacco, and government enterprises, servers exist in almost all aspects that are closely related to our lives. There are many types of servers, from tower type to rack type, from blade type to RACK level, from single work to cluster cooperation, etc. Although their shapes and functions are different, they are all There is this very similar and very important component: the firmware system. The server firmware system usually refers to the system BIOS and the program solidified in the BMC with the baseboard management controller. System remote operation, system warning and system health monitoring, system fault diagnosis and repair, etc. ...
