Methods, systems, and devices for providing for trust in a distributed environment are disclosed. In a distributed environment, various devices may be remote to one another and may interact with one another via one or more operable connections. Through the operable connections, various communications may be exchanged. However, the operable connections may not natively support authentication of any particular device in the distributed system. Consequently, entities in the distributed system may not intrinsically trust that the communications received through the distributed environment are authentic. The entities of the system may mutually authenticate one another prior to trusting communications from the other entities. For example, in a scenario where a client wishes to access data hosted by a data source, the client and data source may go through a process of mutually authenticating one another. By doing so, a trusted environment may be established.

Information handling systems (IHS) and methods are provided to automatically synchronize operating system (OS) and boot firmware languages. In one embodiment, a method may detect a change in an active OS language from a first language pack to a second language pack, notify the boot firmware that the active OS language was changed, and provide an identity of the second language pack to the boot firmware during OS runtime. When the IHS is subsequently rebooted, the active boot firmware language may be synchronized to the active OS language. In another embodiment, the method may detect a change in an active boot firmware language from a first language pack to a second language pack, notify the OS that the active boot firmware language was changed, and provide an identity of the second language pack to the OS during a pre-boot phase. When the OS is subsequently booted, the active OS language may be synchronized to the active boot firmware language.
