US Patent 10489582 Firmware security vulnerability verification service

A firmware security vulnerability verification service provides functionality for verifying the presence or absence of security vulnerabilities in firmware source code and firmware. The service can generate a white box testing application to test for the presence of security vulnerabilities using revoke operations on the firmware source code. The white box testing application can report the results of the revoke operations to the service. The service can also generate a black box testing application. The black box testing application can obtain modules for testing the firmware for the presence of security vulnerabilities. The black box testing application can then execute the modules to test the firmware. The results of the black box testing can also be reported back to the network service. The network service can then make the results of the white and black box testing available to a user of the service.
