ABSTRACT:
Systems and/or methods that enable secure deployment and/or receipt of an operating system and updates for the operating system to a bare computer across a network susceptible to malicious communication are described. These systems and/or methods can, in one embodiment, securely deploy an image having an operating system and enable secure receipt of an update for the operating system, both via a network susceptible to malicious communication. They can also, in another embodiment, enable a bare computer added to a network to have an operating system deployed to it and updated via the network before the bare computer is subjected to malicious code communicated over the network.
