Issuance of certificates for secure enterprise wireless network access

Abstract:

This disclosure is directed to computing services that provide secure network connections using public-private key-based security for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as voice devices, that may have more than a predefined set of users. Device certificates that authorize IoT devices to access a secure network, such as an enterprise network and/or services eternal to an enterprise network are provided. A setup system may cooperate with an IoT device and a subordinate CA to generate a device certificate that allows the IoT device to access a secure enterprise network and services outside of the secure enterprise network. The IoT device may generate a certificate signing request (CSR) which may be signed by a remote subordinate CA to generate the device certificate using a root certificate of an enterprise CA. Systems are also disclosed that renew certificates for the IoT devices prior to their expiration.
