Claim 14:
15. A computer-readable storage device having instructions stored thereon for validating secure delivery of an IHS (Information Handling System), wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors of the IHS causes a validation process of the IHS to:
retrieve a cryptographically attestable shipping certificate uploaded to a remote access controller of the IHS during factory provisioning of the IHS, wherein the cryptographically attestable shipping certificate specifies a plurality of shipping identifiers and identity information of the remote access controller;
cryptographically affirm integrity of the shipping identifiers specified in the cryptographically attestable shipping certificate retrieved from the remote access controller of the IHS;
retrieve the identity information for the remote access controller specified in the cryptographically attestable shipping certificate;
retrieve the plurality shipping identifiers specified in the cryptographically attestable shipping certificate, wherein individual ones of the plurality of shipping identifiers in the cryptographically attestable shipping certificate is associated with one or more of a plurality of shipped packages used to ship at least the IHS;
obtain a plurality of shipping identifiers collected from a plurality of received packages; and
compare identity information of the remote access controller of the IHS, obtained from the remote access controller, against the retrieved identity information for the remote access controller from the cryptographically attestable shipping certificate;
compare the plurality of shipping identifiers collected from the plurality of received packages against the plurality of shipping identifiers from the cryptographically attestable shipping certificate retrieved from the remote access controller of the IHS;
responsive to the two comparisons indicating a match, validate the plurality of received packages as the same as the plurality of shipped packages used to ship at least the IHS; and
provide information regarding the validation of the plurality of received packages to a user.
