Abstract
A computer-readable storage medium containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to implement a basic input/output system (BIOS). The BIOS comprises instructions that implement a BIOS core, instructions that implement a user authentication and enforcement engine (AEE), and instructions that implement an extensible interface to a preboot authentication module.
