Abstract
In one aspect, a system for registering a personal computing device to a service processor is disclosed. The system includes a computer-executable first registration module that is executable to perform functions that include providing a device identifier associated with a personal computing device to a service processor over a communications link. The system also includes a computer-executable second registration module that is executable to perform functions that include receiving the device identifier over the communications link and retrieving stored user access data associated with a particular authorized user of the personal computing device who has remote access to the service processor via a management computer. The second registration module is further executable to generate a cryptographic key based on the device identifier and configuration data associated with firmware of the service processor, and to provide the cryptographic key to the personal computing device over the communications link.
