ABSTRACT:
Methods and arrangements to provide computer security are contemplated. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to provide computer security by receiving over a secure network connection a message to signal physical presence to a trusted platform module (TPM) and by signaling physical presence to the TPM in response to receiving the message. Some embodiments may involve sending the message over a secure network connection. In some embodiments, the receiving may be performed by a platform system management module. In many further embodiments, the signaling may include sending a signal over a secure general purpose input/output (GPIO) line or other hardware signaling mechanism. Other further embodiments may include sending a message pursuant to the intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) or other remote management protocol. In other embodiments, the receiving may be performed by a network stack of a basic input/output system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
