Abstract: A system, device, and method for providing policy-based secure cloud booting include a mobile computing device and a web server. The mobile computing device determines a remote boot address specifying the location of a boot resource on the web server. The mobile computing device opens a secure connection to the web server and maps the boot resource to a local firmware protocol. The mobile computing device executes the boot resource as a firmware image using the local firmware protocol. The boot resource may be a compact disc or DVD image mapped through a block I/O protocol. The boot resource may be a remote file system mapped through a file system protocol. The remote boot address may be configured using a manageability engine capable of out-of-band communication. The remote boot address may be determined based on the context of the mobile computing device, including location. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
