Title: Bootstrapping without transferring private key
Inventor: SZYMON SASIN
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2015-08-03
Abstract: During a client-initiated bootstrap process to register a remote device 70 with a bootstrap server 72, authentication is performed using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 74 protocol. The device then sends a public key 76 to the bootstrap server, the public key corresponding to a private key that has been embedded in the device during manufacture. The bootstrap server creates a public key certificate by signing the public key with its private key, thereby verifying the device as the owner of the public key, and transmits a copy of the digitally signed certificate to the device. The device is then able to use the signed certificate to subsequently authenticate itself to a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LWM2M) server. The invention avoids the need for the bootstrap server to generate and transmit a private key to the device. Server-initiated bootstrap processes are also disclosed (figs 7-9). The device may be an Internet of Things (IoT) device.
