Recovery or upgrade of a cloud client device

Abstract

In one embodiment, a cloud client device sends authentication data to a cloud services system. When the cloud services system determines the cloud client device is authenticated, the cloud client device receives data for configuring the cloud client device from the cloud services system, the data including one or more software modules associated with a communication protocol. When the cloud services system determines the cloud client device is not authenticated, the cloud client device conducts a data wipe of the cloud client device.
