  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 17717496 Titled 'FAST IDENTITY ONLINE (FIDO) DEVICE ONBOARDING (FDO) PROTOCOL COMPUTING DEVICE ORDERING/MANUFACTURING SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system used by a computing device manufacturer to order and manufacture devices. The system includes a voucher management system that helps with the ordering process. The manufacturer system provides information about a rendezvous system, which is included in the device before it is transferred to the buyer. The system also includes a voucher management system that handles ownership transfer. The voucher management system uses public and private keys to generate ownership transfer data and transfer ownership of the device from the manufacturer to the voucher management system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A FDO protocol computing device ordering/manufacturing system includes a computing device manufacturer system coupled to a voucher management system. The computing device manufacturer system identifies, as part of an ordering process for a computing device being ordered by a subsequent owner, rendezvous system reachability information for a rendezvous system. The computing device manufacturer system provides the rendezvous system reachability information in the computing device prior to its transfer to the subsequent owner. The computing device provisioning subsystem retrieves a voucher management system public key from the voucher management system, uses a computing device manufacturer private key to sign the voucher management system public key to generate first ownership transfer data, provides the first ownership transfer data in an ownership voucher in order to transfer ownership of the computing device from the computing device manufacturer system to the voucher management system, and provides the ownership voucher to the voucher management system.
