ABSTRACT:
In accordance with certain aspects, a computer system has a central processing unit (CPU) and an operating system (OS), the CPU having a pair of private and public keys and a software identity register that holds an identity of the operating system. An OS certificate is created including the identity from the software identity register, information describing the operating system, and the CPU public key. The created OS certificate is signed using the CPU private key.
