FAST IDENTITY ONLINE (FIDO) DEVICE ONBOARDING (FDO) PROTOCOL COMPUTING DEVICE HARDWARE ATTESTATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17717820 Titled 'FAST IDENTITY ONLINE (FIDO) DEVICE ONBOARDING (FDO) PROTOCOL COMPUTING DEVICE HARDWARE ATTESTATION SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system that manages ownership vouchers for computing devices. It receives an ownership voucher and a hardware attestation certificate from the manufacturer, and stores them in a database. When the system decides to transfer ownership to an end user, it generates a second ownership transfer data by signing the end user's public key with its private key. This data is then added to the ownership voucher to transfer ownership to the end user. The ownership voucher and the hardware attestation certificate are provided to the end user.
Original Abstract Submitted
A voucher management system receives, from a computing device manufacturer system, an ownership voucher that transfers ownership of a computing device from the computing device manufacturer system to the voucher management system, and a hardware attestation certificate for the computing device, and associates them with the computing device in a voucher management database. When the voucher management system determines that the ownership of the computing device should be transferred to an end user system, it automatically generates second ownership transfer data by signing an end user system public key with a voucher management system private key, provides the second ownership transfer data in the ownership voucher in order to transfer ownership of the computing device from the voucher management system to the end user system, and provides the ownership voucher and the hardware attestation certificate to the end user system.
