Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A bootstrap bridge for an information handling system comprising:
a hardware processor of the information handling system executing code instructions of an operating system (OS);
an embedded controller with a local profile assistant (EC/LPA) operatively coupled to the OS;
a dynamic antenna re-configuration wireless integration radio front-end circuitry system operatively coupled to the EC/LPA and the OS;
a Wi-Fi operatively coupled to the EC/LPA;
a wireless personal area network (WPAN)/Wi-Fi radio operatively coupled to the dynamic antenna re-configuration wireless integration radio front-end circuitry system, wherein the WPAN/Wi-Fi radio acts as a host for an untrusted, new information handling system to create the bootstrap bridge in a secure gateway of a network interface device;
a wireless wide area network (WWAN) radio operatively coupled to the dynamic antenna re-configuration wireless integration module, wherein the WWAN radio acts a host for the untrusted, new information handling system while the untrusted, new information handling system is bootstrapped via a transitive bootstrapping process provided by the information handling system, the WWAN radio comprising embedded subscriber identity (eSIM) capability, embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) capability, or a combination thereof;
the hardware processor execute code instructions upon receiving an authentication request from the untrusted, new information handling system including temporary authentication data derived from and loaded to the untrusted, new information handling system upon manufacture to transmit a request for a challenge and receiving a response challenge from a trusted core network and transmit the response challenge to the untrusted, new information handling system via the temporary network enabler then receive a solved response to the response challenge from the untrusted, new information handling system and transmit the solved response to the response challenge to the trusted core network via a secure gateway;
a plurality of WWAN antennas; and
a plurality of wireless local area network (WLAN) antennas,
wherein the bootstrap bridge acts as a go-between between the untrusted, new information handling system and the trusted core network, wherein an exchange of provisioning information between the untrusted, new information handling system and the trusted core network occurs through the bootstrap bridge 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 via the bootstrap bridge.
