Compatible trust in a computing device

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store instructions that, when executed by a processor included in a computing device, cause the computing device to carry out steps that include:

• in response to receiving a service request from a first operating environment executed by a first processor of a device, the service request requesting a service provided by a second operating environment executed by a second processor of the device:
• receiving, at the second processor, a first version data associated with the first operating environment executed by the first processor, wherein the first version data is associated with one or more first boot images associated with the first operating environment, and the second processor is locally coupled to the first processor within the device,
• examining, at the second processor, the first version data associated with the first operating environment in view of a second version data associated with the second operating environment to determine whether a compatible trust exists between the first operating environment and the second operating environment, wherein the determination is based on whether the first version data and the second version data satisfy a predetermined relationship, the second version data is associated with one or more second boot images associated with the second operating environment, and the first version data and the second version data are provided within the device, and
• denying, by the second processor, the service request in response to a determination that the first version data and the second version data do not satisfy the predetermined relationship.

A device comprising:

• a first processor executing a first operating environment;
• and
• a second processor executing a second operating environment, the second processor locally coupled to the first processor within the device, wherein the second processor is configured to:
• in response receiving a service request from the first operating environment executed by the first processor, the service request requesting a service provided by the second operating environment executed by the second processor:
• receive a first version data associated with the first operating environment executed by the first processor, wherein the first version data is associated with one or more first boot images associated with the first operating environment,
• examine the first version data associated with the first operating environment in view of a second version data associated with the second operating environment to determine whether a compatible trust exists between the first operating environment and the second operating environment, wherein the determination is based on whether the first version data and the second version data satisfy a predetermined relationship, the second version data is associated with one or more second boot images associated with the second operating environment, and the first version data and the second version data are provided within the device, and
• deny the service request in response to a determination that the first version data and the second version data do not satisfy the predetermined relationship.
