Abstract
In an example, a device comprises a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC comprises non-volatile storage storing a service operating system (OS). The BMC also comprises a processor. The processor may: receive, by a baseboard management controller (BMC), a request to modify the non-volatile storage, wherein the request comprises a signature, determine, by the BMC, based on a received signature, and a key for modifying the non-volatile storage, whether the request to modify the non-volatile storage is properly signed, and responsive to determining the request to modify the non-volatile storage is properly signed: allow modification of the non-volatile storage.
