摘要: A client workstation generates a network request for an initial program load. The is serviced by server which preferably includes in the reply to addresses of authentication (AS), client, and secure load (SECIPL). then requests SECIPL service ticket from AS, also sending common identifier known AS stored ROM. This utilized validate as originating bona fide whereupon provided presented authenticates that was received AS. provides kernel either encrypted with key or otherwise secured cryptographic checksum utilizing SECIPL. In this manner, thereby assured authenticated boot image has been through potentially non-secure communication links.
