Abstract
Techniques for secure peripheral management are described. One example method includes detecting that a peripheral device has been connected to the computer system; sending, via a network, a verification request for the peripheral device to a management server identified by a network address stored in a firmware of the peripheral device, wherein the verification request is encrypted based on credentials associated with the peripheral device; receiving, via the network, a verification response from the management server including a policy associated with the peripheral device; determining that the verification response is authentic based on the credentials stored in the firmware of the peripheral device; and in response, operating the peripheral device according to the received policy.
