Abstract
At a computing device, contents of one or more transaction records are obtained from a record-keeping network at which a decentralized consensus-based protocol is used to store transaction records of administrator changes of various devices. Using the contents of the obtained records, an administrator of the computing device is identified, as well as a network endpoint of the administrator. A set of instructions is obtained from the endpoint and executed.
