    Abstract: An apparatus and system for onboarding based on UE default manufacturer credentials are described. A UE sends default manufacturer credentials and an indication to proceed with restricted onboarding to an onboarding non-public network (O-SNPN). An Onboarding Server validates the authenticity of the UE based on the manufacturer credentials and sends a certificate. The UE is provisioned with a set of roots of trust certificate information to use to authenticate the certificate using one way authentication. After authentication, the UE receives network credentials and performs mutual authentication to register with a NPN while being authenticated by a home network. The UE identity is indicated as anonymous in response to an indication by the O-SNPN for subscriber identifier privacy.
