Abstract
Systems and methods for providing and verifying customer-owned trust of device firmware are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS), may include a processor and a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) coupled to the processor, the BIOS having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: receive, from a user, selection of a pre-boot code module; export a digest of the pre-boot code module to the user; and import the digest signed by the user.
