Abstract
A computing device includes a component verification record, a software BoM, a firmware BoM, and a secure device validation record. The component verification record is obtained from a first distributed ledger and characterizes a provisioning action performed on the computing device in a supply chain of the computing device. The software BoM characterizes software instantiated on the computing device. The firmware BOM characterizes firmware instantiated on the computing device. The secure device validation record is generated by the computing device, is based upon the component verification record, the software BoM, and the firmware BoM, and includes a vulnerability score for the computing device based upon the component verification record, the software BoM, and the firmware BoM. The computing device determines an authenticity of the computing device based on validating the secure device validation record with a second distributed ledger.
