Transferring digital device ownership via a signed transfer request

Abstract:

Transferring control over a device. A method includes, receiving a first indication, including a first verifiable token, from a first entity that at least a portion of control of a device should be relinquished by the first entity. A second indication is received from the second entity, including a second verifiable token, that the at least a portion of control should be transferred to the second entity. The first token and the second token are verified. As a result of verifying the first token and the second token, the at least a portion of control of the device is transferred from the first entity to the second entity. Transferring the at least a portion of control of the device from the first entity to the second entity includes updating the device with configuration applicable to the second entity.
