The method can include comparing a first device identifier (125) disposed within a component (120) with a second device identifier (135) disposed within an immutable memory (130). The component and the immutable memory can be disposed at least partially within an electronic device (110). The method can include starting the electronic device normally if the first device identifier corresponds to the second device identifier. The method can further include providing at least one indicator (150) if the first device identifier fails to correspond to the second device identifier. Security systems are also provided.
