Abstract: A device provisioning service (DPS) fields requests from unprovisioned devices so that those unprovisioned devices can obtain network credentials or other data used in provisioning the unprovisioned device. The DPS can identify the device securely and associate with a known user account, or the user provisioning the device can supply network credentials over a side channel after supplying a provision code indicative of possession of the unprovisioned device. The provision code can be unique to the unprovisioned device or a short-sequence code that is not necessarily unique, but that is sufficiently uncommon that a specific short-sequence code would not likely be used more than once at a time. In order to communicate with the DPS, a provisioning device might connect the unprovisioned device and the DPS. If the provisioning device is a trusted device, it can perform some of the steps otherwise required by the DPS.
