Abstract
Techniques for selectively permitting a device to boot an operating system. Before any operating system is loaded on the device, a BIOS component analyzes a set of files residing on the device to create state data that describes a current state of the set of files. This enables the state data to identify whether any files have been unexpectedly modified or are outdated. The BIOS component attempts to send the state data to a server over a network. The BIOS component then determines whether to permit the device to boot the operating system based on whether the network was detected and on the contents of any response, sent by the server, responsive to the state data.
