Abstract: A network protocol is provided to identify and authenticate devices from different vendors that are deployed in a network. Each vendor is provided a vendor key unique to the vendor by a network management server. A vendor server associated with the vendor provisions a device with a first hash value generated using the vendor key among other device attributes. When the device is deployed in the network, the network management server queries the device. The device generates a second hash value using the first hash value and sends it in a response to the network management server. The network management server computes a local hash value using the vendor key and the attributes received from the response. The network management server authenticates the device if the local hash value matches with the second hash value.
