    Abstract: Technologies for secure offline activation of hardware features include a target computing device having a platform controller hub (PCH) including a converged security and manageability engine (CSME) and a number of in-field programmable fuses (IFPs). During assembly of the target computing device by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), the CSME is provided a list of hardware features to be activated. The CSME configures the IFPs to enable the requested features, generates a digital receipt including the activated features and a unique device ID, and signs the receipt using a unique device key. Signed receipts may be periodically submitted to a vendor computing device, which verifies the signed receipts, extracts the active feature list, and bills the OEM for activated features of the PCHs. The vendor computing device may bill the OEM a maximum price for PCHs for which there is no associated signed receipt. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for tunneling platform management messages through inter-processor interconnects. Platform management messages are received from a management entity such as a management engine (ME) at a management component of a first processor targeted for a managed device operatively coupled to a second processor. Management message content is encapsulated in a tunnel message that is tunneled from the first processor to a second management component in the second processor via a socket-to-socket interconnect link between the processors. Once received at the second management component the encapsulated management message content is extracted and the original management message is recreated. The recreated management message is then used to manage the targeted device in a manner similar to if the ME was directly connected to the second processor. The disclosed techniques enable management of platform devices operatively coupled to processors in a multi-processor platform via a single management entity.

    Abstract translation: 通过处理器互连隧道化平台管理消息的方法和装置。 从管理实体（诸如管理引擎（ME））处接收平台管理消息，该管理引擎（ME）处于针对可操作地耦合到第二处理器的被管理设备的第一处理器的管理组件。 管理消息内容被封装在隧道消息中，隧道消息通过处理器之间的套接字到套接字互连链路从第一处理器隧道传送到第二处理器中的第二管理组件。 一旦在第二管理组件被接收到，则提取封装的管理消息内容，并重新创建原始管理消息。 然后，重新创建的管理消息用于以与ME直接连接到第二处理器相似的方式来管理目标设备。 所公开的技术使得能够经由单个管理实体来管理与多处理器平台中的处理器可操作地耦合的平台设备。

    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a system and method relating to seamlessly enable enhanced management and scripting of a computer system and its add-in devices. In at least one embodiment, the present invention enables a system administrator or integrator to script a common configuration for multiple devices and then automatically configure the devices using the script. The language construct and central data repository for configuration settings are extended to comprehend a scripting language. A script is read by a script engine during either pre-boot or runtime. The script engine searches a keyword database on the central data repository to determine requested configuration settings. A data offset is corresponding to a specific op-code is used to determine where configuration settings are located, for modification.
