ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a method comprises generating a cryptographic key pair associated with a data center. The method also includes storing a private key of the cryptographic key pair within a platform. The private key is used to sign a value stored in the platform for validation of inclusion of the platform into the data center. In an embodiment, the private key is revoked upon determining that the platform has been compromised. In one embodiment, the private key may be revoked in each of the platforms of the data center.
