Claim:
A method for updating network-enabled devices with new identity data, comprising: receiving requests for new identity data from a plurality of network-enabled devices, said requests including previously assigned identifiers respectively associated with the network-enabled devices and encrypted versions of keys uniquely associated with the network-enabled devices; decrypting the encrypted versions of the keys; receiving a plurality of new identity records that each include new identity data and new identifiers respectively linked to the new identity data; receiving a whitelist of network-enabled devices authorized to be provisioned with new identity data; determining that each of the plurality of network-enabled devices specified in the requests for new identity data are authorized to receive new identity data by confirming that the previously assigned identifiers included in the requests are also included in the whitelist; retrieving a first of the new identity records; encrypting at least a part of a first of the new identity record with a key uniquely associated with a network-enabled device identified by a first of the previously assigned identifiers; and sending the first encrypted new identity record to the network-enabled device identified by the first previously assigned identifier.
