Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for attesting component certificates to particular devices. An enterprise hosted integrity protected distributed ledger, such as a block chain, is provided to publish component certificates. Component vendors are provided authorization tokens to publish their component certificates. Manifests are generated by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that includes vendor component identifiers. End users discover the distributed ledger through a verification mechanism, and the component certificates are retrieved from the distributed ledger.
