Abstract: In an example, there is disclosed a computing apparatus having: a network interface to communicate with a second device; a contextual data interface to receive and store contextual data; and one or more logic elements comprising a contextual security agent, operable to: receive a contextual data packet via the network interface; compare the contextual data packet to stored contextual data; and act on the comparing. The contextual data packet may optionally be provided out of band, and may be used to authenticate a substantive data packet, such as a patch or update.

Abstract: In an example, there is disclosed a method of a remote device receiving a pushed over-the-air (OTA) payload from a push server, comprising: periodically collecting, on the remote device, telemetry data from telemetry sensors of the remote device, comprising storing the telemetry data in a local telemetry cache, and mirroring the telemetry data to a telemetry storage service; receiving from the push server the pushed OTA payload; authenticating the push server, comprising proving that the push server has access to the telemetry storage service; and based on the authenticating, accepting the pushed OTA payload.
