Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 6:
7. The information handling system of claim 1, wherein the third boot service is executable by the processing device of the IHS to encode the BLOB to create a cryptographic key by:
dividing the BLOB into multiple parts including a first part containing the metadata, a second part containing the component data and a third part containing the event data;
dividing each of the multiple parts into multiple sub-parts;
applying a hash algorithm to each of the multiple sub-parts to generate a set of hash strings;
combining two or more hash strings in the set of hash strings and applying a hash algorithm to the combined hash strings to generate another set of hash strings;
repeating the step of combining two or more hash strings and applying a hash algorithm to the combined hash strings until a final hash string is generated; and
encrypting the final hash string to create the cryptographic key.
