Abstract
Methods and systems for verifying component loadouts are disclosed. During onboarding and after onboarding, the hardware component loadouts of endpoint devices may be checked to identify whether component drift has occurred. The checks may be performed by comparing actual loadouts to expected loadouts. The expected loadouts may be identified using loadout established when an endpoint device is manufactured, as well as authorized changes in the loadouts that may be made by various owners. The initial loadout and authorized changes may be documented usings cryptographically verifiable data structures that form chains back to a root of trust.
