An electronic device ( 130 ) uses a record ( 122 ) which defines capabilities desired for the electronic device. The requirements of one or more stakeholders are entrusted using stakeholder priority certificates ( 136 ). Signatures in the stakeholder priority certificates are authenticated by a device ( 130 ). A processor compares components ( 140 ) of the electronic device against the received record ( 122 ) and the trusted stakeholder requirements to determine operation characteristics of the electronic device ( 130 ). The processor can execute a conflict resolution process ( 133 ) to resolve conflicts among stakeholder requirements such as arbitrating among at least two of the stakeholders. The processor can resolve conflicts among the stakeholder requirements using a predetermined priority sequence ( 135 ).
