Abstract:

Described embodiments provide systems and methods for provisioning disk images on remote devices. Described is a device configured to connect to a pre-configured network upon device start-up, transmit a request to a server at a pre-configured network address, receive a response containing a disk image for the device, and populate a memory component of the device with the disk image received. Described is a server configured to, responsive to receiving a request from a device, authenticate the request, identify a disk image corresponding to the device, and transmit the disk image to the device. These systems and methods are well suited for improving security and integrity of deployed special-purpose devices, e.g., as may be used for an "Internet of Things" deployment.
