Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for providing for trust during startup of an information handling system (IHS) are disclosed. When an IHS starts up, data may be read into memory and used by a processor of the IHS to begin execution of a startup management entity that places the IHS into a desired operating system. To reduce the likelihood of the data used for IHS startup causing the IHS to enter an undesired state (e.g., due to data corruption or intentional action), the data may be verified prior to be being read into memory. If the data is unverifiable, then corrective action may be taken.
