Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a manufacturing process and feature licensing system for provisioning personalized (device-unique) licenses to devices. The system uses a secure key wrapping mechanism to deliver the LSK to LPS. Additionally, various network communication links are secured using standard security protocol. Further, application messages, license templates, licenses are digitally signed. The system is configured to allow multiple manufacturers and to allow various feature configurations via the use of License Template. The system is scalable, as it is possible to use multiple LPS hosts to serve multiple programming stations. The system is 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 in that license and device association are replicated back to the CLS to provide full license request and generation traceability.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a manufacturing process and feature licensing system for provisioning personalized (device-unique) licenses to devices, with the following characteristics. The system is secure in that it 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. Further, application messages, license templates, licenses are digitally signed. The system is also flexible because it is configured to allow multiple manufacturers and to allow various feature configurations via the use of License Template. The system is also scalable, as it is possible to use multiple LPS hosts to serve multiple programming stations. The system is 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 in that license and device association are replicated back to the CLS to provide full license request and generation traceability, characteristics are crucial for subsequent license upgrades in the field.
