CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY IDENTIFYING A DEVICE

Abstract:

Cryptographically identifying a device to a service includes: providing the cloud service with a cryptographically signed token, the token being embedded in the device when the device was manufactured, the token including first information and second information. The cloud service verifies the token using a public key associated with the second information and determines a user using the first information. The device receives, from the cloud service, provisioning information customized for the user and including a client certificate for communicating with the cloud service.
