Abstract
An electronic device stores a target program representation containing information of a program for an electronic part of the electronic device. A controller obtains a certificate issued by a certificate authority, the certificate including a program version enforcement information element to indicate whether program version enforcement is to be applied using the target program representation. The controller checks the program version enforcement information element in the certificate to determine whether the program version enforcement is to be applied, and based on determining from the certificate that the program version enforcement is to be applied, the controller enforces application of a version of the program indicated by the target program representation to the electronic part.
