Claim 0:
1. An information handling system comprising:
a processor;
a memory;
a power management unit (PMU);
a network interface device to establish a bootstrap bridge for providing a transitive bootstrapping process for an untrusted, new information handling system, wherein the bootstrap bridge comprises a temporary network enabler for communicating with the untrusted, new information handling system and a secure gateway for communicating with a trusted core network, and wherein the bootstrap bridge:
receives an authentication request from the untrusted, new information handling system via the temporary network enabler, wherein the authentication request includes an untrusted, new information handling system identification (ID), where the untrusted, new information handling system ID includes temporary authentication data derived from hardware codes and loaded to the untrusted, new information handling system upon manufacture;
transmits a request for challenge for the untrusted, new information handling system ID to the trusted core network via the secure gateway on behalf of the untrusted, new information handling system;
receives a response challenge for the untrusted, new information handling system ID from the trusted core network via the secure gateway and transmits the response challenge to the untrusted, new information handling system via the temporary network enabler; and
receives solved response to the response challenge from the untrusted, new information handling system via the secure gateway and transmits the solved response to the response challenge to the trusted core network via the temporary network enabler.
