Abstract

Examples for device-driven auto-recovery using multiple recovery sources are disclosed herein. At least one storage device or storage disk includes instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least detect a flaw in a first configuration of a program to be installed on a programmable device, the first configuration recorded on a first chain of a distributed ledger of a blockchain; correct the flaw in the first configuration to generate a corrected configuration; commit the corrected configuration to the distributed ledger, the corrected configuration to create a second chain of the distributed ledger; detect an update of the first configuration to a first updated configuration and an update to the corrected configuration to an updated corrected configuration; and prevent the first updated configuration from being installed on the programmable device by replacing the first updated configuration with the updated corrected configuration on the second chain.
