Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for securing the flow of configuration commands issued to network devices. When an authorized command source, such as an authorized user or program, issues a command, security data for the command is generated and associated with the command. The command and security data may flow across multiple software applications to the network device. The network device receiving the command may use the security data to verify that the command source is an authorized source and to validate that the command was unaltered.
