Abstract:

Particular embodiments of a gateway computing device may provide a provisioning service for access credentials for a restricted network. The gateway computing device may receive, from a client device, a request for the access credentials, wherein the request was sent over an open network using a restricted-packet-size protocol designed to limit power usage by devices sending messages using the protocol. The gateway computing device may segment data comprising the access credentials into a plurality of packets, wherein the plurality of packets conform to the restricted-packet-size protocol. Finally, the gateway computing device may send, over the open network to the client device, the segmented data using the restricted-packet-size protocol.
