Claim 16:
17. A computer-implemented method of secure configuration of at least one electronic device, comprising:
connecting to a blockchain database;
determining 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;
obtaining configuration information from said configuration block; and
using the configuration information, conducting configuration of the electronic device;
wherein said electronic device is additionally configured to conduct a forward update routine comprising:
obtaining a forward update indicator from the configuration block;
determining from said blockchain database using the forward update indicator, an updated configuration block having updated configuration information; and
if the updated configuration block exists, obtaining 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.
