FAST IDENTITY ONLINE (FIDO) DEVICE ONBOARDING (FDO) PROTOCOL COMPUTING DEVICE ORDERING/MANUFACTURING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US 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 manages ownership transfers. When a computing device is ordered, the manufacturer includes information about a rendezvous system in the device. The manufacturer also uses its private key to sign the voucher management system's public key, creating ownership transfer data. This data is then provided in an ownership voucher to 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.
