Abstract

A hardware security password mechanism that allows administrators to manage the passwords more easily by managing them centrally on a network rather than on an individual system. Further, each individual machine interacts with the network to allow the system administrator to lock down the hardware features without having any local, hardware-based password mechanisms.
