Abstract
A method for updating configuration information includes, in a computing device including a processor, memory, and an operating system, initiating an update to at least one configuration setting of the computing device. The update may be downloaded from at least one update data source. The update may include configuration update data and configuration update metadata. The update may be verified by comparing the configuration update metadata with metadata associated with a current version of the at least one configuration setting. The update may be installed if it is verified. The update to the at least one configuration setting may be installed based on an intent from an unsecure component of the computing device. The unsecure component may include content consuming application installed on the device, a component of a computing platform of the device, and/or an update-seeker application installed on the device.
