  • Signed change requests to remotely configure settings
    Patent number: 11657138
    Abstract: An example computing device includes a memory accessible at startup of the computing device, a buffer, and a set of instructions. The memory stores a configuration setting that is configurable by the application of a change request. The memory also stores a first public key and a second public key. The buffer stores change requests submitted by a remote entity, including a first change request to make a first setting change and a second change request to make a second setting change. The first change request is signed by a first private key corresponding to the first public key, and the second change request is signed by a second private key corresponding to the second public key. The set of instructions retrieves a change request from the buffer, determines whether the change request is authenticated by a public key, and if authenticated, applies the change request.
