According to a computer-implemented method, an update package that includes update operational files is received at a computing device. At least one update operational file is to replace a corresponding original operational file for the computing device. It is determined which of the original operational files are to be replaced with corresponding update operational files. A delta file is stored at the computing device, which delta file indicates the original operational files that are replaced with corresponding update operational files and the update package is installed at the computing device.

Operational file management and storage

A binary library overload instruction is received at an embedded computing device that executes a write-protected firmware build. The binary library overload instruction specifies a write-protected binary library of the write-protected firmware build to be overloaded by execution of an alternative binary library instead of the write-protected binary library of the write-protected firmware build. The alternative binary library is configured within a random access memory (RAM) storage area to execute instead of the write-protected binary library as specified in the received binary library overload instruction. The write-protected firmware build is executed using the alternative binary library instead of the write-protected binary library specified in the binary library overload instruction.

Loading remote binaries onto a write-protected device

An electronically authenticated internet voice connection can be initiated on an institution's website. Authentication of the customer's identity can be determined based upon already established credentials, such as a username and password. Upon verifying the identity of the customer, the institution's web server can generate and transmit a unique identifier to the customer's browser. The unique identifier can be an encrypted identifier used to authenticate the customer when establishing a subsequent voice connection.
