Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A method implemented at an information handling system comprising:
transmitting an authentication request for the information handling system to a trusted core network via a secure gateway of a network interface device;
receiving an authentication response at the information handling system via the secure gateway;
enabling a temporary network enabler at the information handling system via a controller; and
enabling a bootstrap bridge at the information handling system via the secure gateway at the network interface device, wherein the bootstrap bridge acts as a go-between between an untrusted, new information handling system and the trusted core network and the exchange of provisioning information between the untrusted, new information handling system and the trusted core network occurs through the information handling system and direct contact between the untrusted, new information handling system and the trusted core network is prevented until the untrusted, new information handling system is provisioned;
receiving an authentication request from the untrusted, new information handling system via the temporary network enabler, wherein the authentication request includes an untrusted, new information handling system identification (ID) includes temporary authentication data derived from and loaded to the untrusted, new information handling system upon manufacture;
transmitting a request for a challenge for the untrusted, new information handling system ID to a trusted core network via the secure gateway;
receiving a response challenge from the trusted core network via the secure gateway;
transmitting the response challenge to the untrusted, new information handling system via the temporary network enabler;
receiving a solved response to the response challenge from the untrusted new information handling system via the temporary network enabler; and
transmitting the solved response to the response challenge to the trusted core network via the secure gateway.
