Abstract
An example apparatus may include a hardware component, a memory, and a processor. The processor may retrieve a firmware for the hardware component subsequent to the firmware being loaded on the hardware component. The processor may determine that a firmware signature associated with the firmware is stored in the memory. In some examples, in response to a determination that the firmware signature associated with the firmware is stored in the memory, the processor may initiate authentication of the firmware.
