Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 6:
7. An apparatus, comprising:
an integrated tamper resistant device configured for installation by a client device manufacturer into a client device, the integrated tamper resistant device including a secure processing circuit configured to:
generate initial network credentials for accessing a network, wherein the initial network credentials enable the integrated tamper resistant device to be authenticated by a network solution provider before operational network credentials are provided securely by the network solution provider;
use a cryptographic key that is pre-set in the integrated tamper resistant device to encrypt the initial network credentials;
cryptographically sign the encrypted initial network credentials; and
output the encrypted and signed initial network credentials for delivery to the network solution provider,

wherein:
the client device manufacturer is not a manufacturer of the integrated tamper resistant device; and
a signing key of the manufacturer of the integrated tamper resistant device is used for cryptographically signing, by the secure processing circuit, the encrypted initial network credentials.
