Claim 20:
21. An electronic device, comprising:
a network interface for connecting to a communications network; and comprising
a processing device, connected with the network interface for communicating with at least one blockchain database; wherein
the processing device is configured to:
connect to the blockchain database;
determine from said blockchain database a configuration block comprising block identification data, where the block identification data corresponds to device identification data, stored with the electronic device;
obtain configuration information from said configuration block;

using the configuration information, configure the electronic device; and
conduct a forward update routine wherein the processing device is configured to:
obtain a forward update indicator from the configuration block;
determine from said blockchain database using the forward update indicator, an updated configuration block having updated configuration information; and
if the updated configuration block exists, obtain the updated configuration information and using the updated configuration information, conducting configuration of the electronic device;

wherein the forward update indicator comprises a hash of verification data and a subsequent or younger updated configuration block of the blockchain database comprises or corresponds to the verification data.
