Device validation, distress indication, and remediation

A wireless communication device comprising:

• a loader residing on the wireless communication device, the loader configured to perform a first integrity check on a component associated with the wireless communication device, determine that the component has failed the first integrity check, and perform a second integrity check on a portion of the failed component to isolate a portion of the failed component for remediation by the network entity;
• a policy management entity residing on the wireless communication device configured to determine a network functionality that corresponds to the failed component;
• and
• a platform integrity policy engine (PIPE) in communication with the loader and residing on the wireless communication device, the PIPE configured to receive an indication of the failed component from the loader, receive the network functionality that corresponds to the failed component, report, to a network entity, an indication of the network functionality that corresponds to the failed component, and receive a request from the network entity to perform a second integrity check on the failed component to determine that the portion of the failed component caused the component to fail the first integrity check.

A device remediation server residing on a wireless communication network, the device remediation server comprising:

• a processor adapted to execute computer-readable instructions;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• remediating a portion of a component that has failed an integrity check on a wireless communication device, wherein the remediating comprises:
• receiving, from the wireless communication device, an indication of a network functionality associated with the failed component of the integrity check on the wireless communication device;
• determining the failed component based on the received indication of the network functionality;
• performing an interrogation with the wireless communication device to isolate the portion of the failed component for remediation;
• determining a repair or replacement for the portion of the failed component based on one or more criteria;
• and
• sending the repair or replacement of the portion of the failed component to the wireless communication device.
