INTERFACE CONTROLLER FOR COMMODITY DEVICES

A method, system, and device for using an interface controller to validate and authenticate the controller code for a commodity device to be included within a computer system (e.g., a power supply) is provided. In one example, a commodity device controller includes a dynamic memory for control software (e.g., control code to control the operation of the commodity device) that may be validated (and/or updated) by using an interface controller. The interface controller may perform this update/validation at startup (or run-time) to ensure the secure control over the aspects of the computer device including the commodity device control code. If a security risk is detected, it may be mitigated in various ways, including disabling of the commodity device. The control code provided by third-parties (e.g., supplier of commodity device) may be validated and secured by using disclosed techniques. 提供了一种用于使用接口控制器来验证和认证用于包括在计算机系统内的产品设备(例如，电源)的控制器代码的方法、系统和设备。在一个示例中，产品设备控制器包括用于可以使用接口控制器验证(和/或更新)的控制软件(例如，用于控制产品设备的运行的控制代码)的动态
