Abstract
A hardware device architecture is described that improves security and flexibility in access to hardware device settings. A device management proxy service is digitally signed and granted access to device settings. Applications are then digitally provisioned by the proxy service and only validated signed requests from applications are permitted to change hardware device settings. Further granularity over hardware device settings is achieved through user accounts and groups established by the applications.
