Abstract
Methods and systems for managing endpoint devices are disclosed. The endpoint devices may be managed by verifying blueprints and authors of blueprints prior to use. To verify the blueprints, the blueprints may be normalized to reduce variability in blueprint content. Once normalized, static content may be identified. Signatures from the blueprints may be used to attempt to verify the integrity of the static content. If successfully verified, then both the static and dynamic content from the blueprints may be trusted. The authority of authors of the blueprints may be verified by attempt to establish chains of delegation of authority to the authors. If successfully verified, then the blueprints may be used to update operation of the endpoint devices.
