摘要:
A method for updating network-enabled devices with new identity data includes generating a plurality of new identity data records and loading the new identity data records onto an update server. A request is received at the update server for new identity data from at least one network-enabled device having a previously assigned identity linked to an identifier. The previously assigned identifier is linked to a new identifier that is linked to one of the new identity data records. One or more new identity data records are securely delivered to the network-enabled device.
摘要:
One or more servers are provided including a session manager, authentication module, authorization module, encryption module, database, and protocol handler. The session manager is configured to receive requests for new identity data from network-enabled devices. Each request is authenticated first by the update server via its authentication module by validating the signature of the request message as well as the certificate chain trusted by the update server. The authorization module is configured to determine if the network-enabled devices specified on a whitelist are authorized to be provisioned with new identity data. The database is configured to receive new identity records generated by an identity data generation system. Each of the new identity records includes a new identifier. The new identifier is not associated or linked to any previously assigned/used identifiers and identity data, thus all the new identity records are generated independently and then loaded to the update server.

A system for generating new identity data for network-enabled devices includes a whitelist reader configured to extract attributes from a whitelist. The whitelist includes, for each device specified in the whitelist, a previously assigned identifier of the first type. The previously assigned identifiers of the first type are linked to identity data previously provisioned in each of the respective devices. A data retrieval module is configured to receive the identifiers of the first type from the whitelist reader and, based on each of the identifiers, retrieve each of the previously provisioned identity data records linked thereto. A new data generation module is configured to (i) obtain a cryptographic key associated with the identity data previously provisioned in the devices specified on the whitelist and the corresponding identifiers of the first type, (ii) generate new identity data records each linked to a new identifier and (iii) encrypt each of the new identity data records with one of the cryptographic keys and link each new identity data record to the identifier of the first type corresponding to each respective cryptographic key. A data output module is configured to load onto an external source the encrypted new identity data records along with their respective new identifiers and their respective previously assigned identifiers of the first type.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for generating identity data to be provisioned in product devices that are a part of a project. The method includes establishing a template associated with each CA in a hierarchical chain of CAs having a root CA at a highest level in the chain and a signing CA at a lowest level in the chain. The template associated with the signing CA inherits mandatory attribute fields specified in the root CA and any intermediate CA in the hierarchical chain. The mandatory attribute fields are user-specifiable fields to be populated with PKI data. A configuration file is generated upon receipt of an order for digital certificates using PKI data provided by a user to populate the mandatory attribute fields of the template associated with the signing CA. The digital certificates requested in the order are generated using the PKI data in the configuration file.

Disclosed is a manufacturing process and feature licensing system for provisioning personalized (device-unique) licenses to devices. The secure system uses a secure key wrapping mechanism to deliver the LSK to LPS. Another feature is that various network communication links are secured using standard security protocol. Application messages, license templates, licenses are digitally signed. The system is flexible, configured to allow multiple manufacturers and to allow various feature configurations via the use of License Template; scalable, as it is possible to use multiple LPS hosts to serve multiple programming stations; and available in that the delegation of license signing capability from CLS to LPS eliminates the dependency on unreliable Internet connections. Redundant LPS hosts provide high level of availability required for high volume license provisioning. The system is traceable: license and device association are replicated back to the CLS to provide full license request and generation traceability.

摘要:
A method and apparatus is provided for establishing a process for provisioning a digital certificate service delivered by a PKI system. The method includes receiving a request for a digital certificate service and receiving data specifying a project that includes at least one product to be provisioned with a digital certificate. Data specifying an identification of an owner organization of the project and at least one participant organization participating in the project is also received. Attributes with which PKI data to be included in the digital certificates is to comply is received from the owner organization. Based on the received data and attributes, an account is established for each of the organizations associated with the project through which users associated with each of the organizations can respectively request digital certificates for the at least one product in accordance with the attributes received from the owner organization.
