However, these methods may have disadvantages
For example, such an approach may protect an information handling system from breaches detected at boot time, but breaches that occur during runtime of the host system can still access secrets within the contents of a credential vault

Abstract

A method may include storing a first set of secrets associated with an information handling system in a credential vault of a management controller configured to be coupled to a processor of a host system of the information handling system in order to provide management of the information handling system via management traffic communicated between the management controller and an external management network such that the first set of secrets are accessible responsive to a verified boot of the management controller and storing a second set of secrets associated with the information handling system in a storage of a cryptoprocessor owned by the management controller such that access to the second set of secrets may be granted in response to an administrator's provision of authorization to the cryptoprocessor, and such that access to the second set of secrets is prevented during runtime of the host system in absence of authorization.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to information handling systems, and more particularly to methods and systems for enabling storage of administrator secrets in cryptographic processors owned by a management controller. Background technique [0002] As the value and use of information continue to increase, individuals and businesses seek other ways to process and store information. One option available to the user is an information handling system. An information handling system typically processes, compiles, stores and / or communicates information or data for business, personal or other purposes, thereby allowing users to exploit the value of the information. Since the technical and information processing needs and requirements vary between different users or applications, information processing systems may also vary depending on the information to be processed, the method of information processing, the amount of information processed, stored or...
