1. A method comprising:
- receiving at a service processor of an information handling system a Secure Boot database, the database provided by a provisioning server coupled to the service processor by a data communication network;
storing the Secure Boot database at a memory device included at the service processor; and
providing the Secure Boot database to a basic input output system (BIOS) at the information handling system in response to a request issued by intrinsic BIOS instructions executed during initialization of the information handling system.

Abstract
A service processor of an information handling system receives a Secure Boot database from a provisioning server coupled to the service processor by a data communication network. The Secure Boot database is stored at a memory device included at the service processor. The Secure Boot database is provided to a basic input output system (BIOS) at the information handling system in response to a request issued by intrinsic BIOS instructions executed during initialization of the information handling system.

14. An information handling system comprising:
-
a provisioning server to store a Secure Boot signature database; and a host server including a service processor, the service processor coupled to the provisioning server by a data communication network; wherein the service processor is configured to; receive the Secure Boot database from the provisioning server; store the Secure Boot database at a memory device included at the service processor; and provide the Secure Boot databases to a basic input output system (BIOS) at the host server in response to a request issued by intrinsic BIOS instructions executed during initialization of the host server.
