Problems solved by technology

Current practice relies on the operating system (OS) to perform the initial authentication, but with FDE, the OS is encrypted, making it difficult to authenticate users through the OS

Abstract

A manageability engine (ME) receives an authentication response from a user during pre-boot authentication and registers the user with a key distribution center (KDC), indicating that the user has successfully authenticated to the PC. The KDC supplies the ME with single-sign-on credentials in the form of a Key Encryption Key (KEK). The KEK may later be used by the PC to obtain a credential used to establish secure access to Enterprise servers.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to user authentication. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for enterprise network single sign-on using a manageability engine. Background technique [0002] for data protection Anti-Theft TM Technology (AT-d) is a platform capability to add full disk encryption (FDE) to the chipset and its peripheral components. All data on drives protected by AT-d is encrypted, including OS (operating system) and user data. Areas that remain unencrypted include the manageability engine (ME) metadata and pre-boot authentication metadata areas. Fully encrypting the drive protects sensitive data contained in paging and configuration files, and it prevents offline attackers from manipulating system files through tool kits. [0003] Fully encrypting drives also presents challenges. For example, access to a disk drive is prohibited for a user until the user is authenticated. Current practic...
