Title:
INTEGRITY ASSURANCE THROUGH EARLY LOADING IN THE BOOT PHASE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017033561
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for ensuring that a driver associated with a kernel-mode component is initialized before other drivers during a boot phase.SOLUTION: A library component is processed during a boot phase; a pre-boot component, which may be an alternative to the library component, is processed during a pre-boot phase. By ensuring that the driver is the first driver initialized, the components enable the driver to launch the kernel-mode component before other drivers are initialized. The library component may also determine whether another driver is to be initialized before the kernel-mode component driver, may ensure that the kernel-mode component driver is initialized first, and may alert the kernel-mode component.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
