Abstract
Embodiments are directed to managing software components loaded on a device by identifying a platform manifest having a valid certificate, confirming that the platform manifest is bound to the device, identifying components listed on the platform manifest, confirming that the listed components have a valid certificate, and loading listed components with valid certificates on the device. The components may be binaries and packages for an operating system. The components may be signed in an embedded manner or with detached signatures. The platform manifest may be bound to the device in a manner that allows for identification of unauthorized platform manifests.
