    Abstract: Techniques for providing a credential of a secure data network to a computing device are described. In an example, a system stores an association between the computing device and a user account. The user account is also associated with a credential of the secure data network. The system receives a certificate of the computing device and determines the association between the computing device and the user account based on the certificate. Further, the system authenticates the computing device based on the association being determined to send to the computing device data, where this data is verified based on a private key of the system. The system receives a request of the computing device for the credential based on the data and sends the credential to the computing device.

    Abstract: A settings service running on a server remote from a computing device can identify at least one settings group to which the computing device belongs. The settings service can identify all settings that are included in the at least one settings group to which the device belongs. The settings service can compare all the settings and detect any conflicting settings. If there are conflicting settings, the service can choose which of the conflicting settings takes priority, in order to resolve the conflict. For example, a default setting can be overridden by a setting with a higher priority. After resolving the conflict, the settings service can merge the conflicting setting(s) which takes priority, as well as the non-conflicting settings, into a single set of settings to be applied to the device. The settings service can transmit the set of settings to the computing device to be applied.

    Abstract: Approaches are described for automatically generating new security credentials, such as security tokens, which can involve automatically re-authenticating a user (or client device) using a previous security token issued to that user (or device). The re-authentication can happen without any knowledge and/or action on the part of the user. The re-authentication mechanism can invalidate and/or keep track of the previous security token, such that when a subsequent request is received that includes the previous security token, the new security token can be invalidated, and the user caused to re-authenticate, as receiving more than one request with the previous security token can be indicative that the user's token might have been stolen.

    Abstract translation: 描述了用于自动生成新安全凭证(例如安全令牌)的方法,其可以涉及使用发给该用户(或设备)的先前安全令牌来自动重新认证用户(或客户端设备)。 重新认证可以在用户没有任何知识和/或动作的情况下发生。 重新认证机制可以使先前的安全令牌无效和/或跟踪,使得当接收到包括先前的安全令牌的后续请求时,新的安全令牌可以被无效,并且用户重新认证, 因为接收到具有先前的安全令牌的多个请求可以指示用户的令牌可能被盗。

    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques and systems for enabling new devices introduced into respective environments (“provisionee devices”) to be provisioned by existing devices in the respective environments (“provisioner devices”) in a manner in which the provisioning requests sent by the provisioner devices are allocated over time and, thus, do not overwhelm the provisioning system(s) at any given time.

    Abstract: Techniques for a server-based reconnection of disconnected devices in a network are described. In an example, a computer system receives, from a second device, first data of a first device. The first data indicates that the first device has disconnected from the network due a change in the password of the network. The computer system determines that the first device is authorized to connect to the network. Based on the first device being authorized, the computer system transmits a request for a token. The computer system compares the token to a token stored by the computer system. In response to the tokens matching, the computer system transmits second data to the first device via the second device. The second data includes an updated password of the network. The first device uses the second data to reestablish a connection with the network.
