GROUP DIGITAL CERTIFICATES FOR DEVICE ONBOARDING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17895975 titled 'GROUP DIGITAL CERTIFICATES FOR DEVICE ONBOARDING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device with a processor and storage medium for storing logic to manage digital certificates and client device onboarding.

  • The device stores a group digital certificate with unique identifier (UID) values and corresponding public keys.
  • It receives onboarding data and a digital signature from a client device, validating the signature and confirming the UID matches a UID in the group digital certificate.
  • The device then onboards the client device.

Potential Applications

  • Secure client device onboarding processes
  • Managing and validating digital certificates for authentication

Problems Solved

  • Ensuring secure onboarding of client devices
  • Efficient management of digital certificates

Benefits

  • Enhanced security for client device onboarding
  • Simplified process for managing digital certificates


Original Abstract Submitted

In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a device including: a processor; and a storage medium for tangibly storing thereon logic for execution by the processor, the logic including instructions for: storing a group digital certificate, the group digital certificate including a plurality of unique identifier (UID) values and a plurality of corresponding public keys; receiving onboarding data and a digital signature from a client device, the onboarding data including a UID of the client device and a public key of the client device and the digital signature generated using the onboarding data and a private key corresponding to the public key; validating the digital signature using the public key; confirming that the UID matches at least one UID in the group digital certificate; and onboarding the client device.
