Dynamic secure ACPI power resource enumeration objects for embedded devices

摘要

An information handling system may include a processor, a basic input/output system (BIOS) that is coupled to the processor and configured to execute a pre-boot environment prior to initialization of an operating system of the information handling system, an information handling resource coupled to the processor. The information handling system may be configured to: during execution of the pre-boot environment, create an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) power object for the information handling resource; after initialization of the operating system, execute an application that is configured to request access to the ACPI power object; and in response to cryptographic validation of the application, grant the application access to the ACPI power object, wherein granting the access includes allowing the application to cause the information handling resource to power on.
