Claim 6:
7. A method performed by an information handling system (IHS) to verify an identity of the IHS, the method comprising:
generating and storing a plurality of keys within a trusted platform module (TPM) of the IHS, wherein the plurality of keys includes a public signing key and a private signing key;
sending a verification request to verify the identity of the IHS, along with a unique system identifier specified for the IHS, to a remote system; and
communicating with the remote system to cryptographically verify the identity of the IHS, wherein said communicating comprises:
receiving an encrypted nonce from the remote system;
decrypting the encrypted nonce using a private Endorsement Key (EK) stored within the TPM;
signing the nonce and the unique system identifier using the private signing key stored within the TPM;
transmitting a signed message containing the nonce and the unique system identifier to the remote system; and
receiving a verification response from the remote system.
