Abstract:
Updating boot components in compliance with a chain of trust by loading a boot component update forming part of the chain of trust during a boot process in an execution environment. Boot component measurements are detected and stored as a revised set of attestation values for retrieval by an attestation system. Performing the boot component update upon determining a pass indication for the chain of trust including the boot component update.

Claim (Index 4):
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having a set of instructions stored therein which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to update a set of boot components by:\n loading, using a boot process, a first set of boot components in a chain of trust; storing, in a platform configuration register, a first set of boot component measurements for the first set of boot components, the first set of boot component measurement representing a first set of attestation values for use in verifying the chain of trust; loading, with respect to the first set of boot components, an update forming part of the chain of trust during a boot process in an execution environment, the update creating a second set of boot components; detecting, for the second set of boot components, a second set of boot component measurements; storing, in the platform configuration register, the second set of boot component measurements as a second set of attestation values; notifying an attestation system that the second set of attestation values correspond to the chain of trust including the update; retrieving, by an attestation process performed by the attestation system, based on the notice, the second set of attestation values for attestation of the chain of trust; comparing, by the attestation process, the second set of boot component measurements with the second set of attestation values; determining, by the attestation process and based on comparing the second set of boot component measurements with the second set of attestation values, a pass indication for the chain of trust including the update; and performing, in response to determining the pass indication for the chain of trust, the update for the second set of boot components.
