Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for providing supply chain validation are disclosed. According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for validating a computing system comprises receiving, from a source entity and via an out of band delivery, validation information for validating the computing system, wherein the validation information is derived from one or more components of the computing system. The method also includes determining, using the validation information and reference information associated with the computing system, whether a configuration of the computing system has been modified and, in response to determining that the configuration of the computing system has been modified, generating information about a system modification.
