    Abstract: Internet of Things devices are provisioned with programmable subscriber units by arranging a secure end-to-end connection with an IoT Application Server IoTAS with a temporary connection through a mobile network that has been previously informed of the identities of the IoT devices. Through the secure end-to-end connection, the IoTAS provides an IoT device with provisioning information that enables mutual authentication between the mobile network and the IoT device so that the IoT device can be equipped with a programmable subscription that enables the IoT device to normally attach to the mobile network.
