Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for secure operating system update are described. A first message including a first value and a request associated with an operating system that is stored in a write-protected area of memory may be transmitted to a server. In response to the first message, a second message including data associated with the operating system, a second value corresponding to the first value, and a signature of the server may be received. The data associated with the operating system may be validated based on the signature of the server and a comparison of the second value and the first value. Based on validating the data associated with the operating system, the data associated with the operating system may be written to the write-protected area of memory.
