1. A method for verifying a basic input/output system (BIOS) of a computing platform, the method comprising: executing a processor initialization module in response to a reset, wherein the processor initialization module is included in a processor in the computing platform and the processor initialization module comprises an initialization firmware verification module; attempting to verify initialization firmware stored in non-volatile memory in a processor package in the computing platform using the initialization firmware verification module; attempting to verify the BIOS using the initialization firmware wherein the BIOS is included in a reprogrammable non-volatile memory; and initiating at least one response if at least one of the initialization firmware and the BIOS fails to verify.
