Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods are disclosed for automated generation of encryption material for a set of internet-of-things (iot) devices. an example method includes receiving, via a cloud-based service, a request for encryption materials for a set of iot devices. the method may also include generating, for each iot device, a private key and a digital certificate, combining the private key and the digital certificate with a server-side public key and deriving random bits. the method may further include generating, for each iot device, an advanced encryption standard (aes) key and an initialization vector (iv) and sending the encryption material including the aes key and iv to the vendor in a format configured to be utilized by the computing system of the vendor to store the encryption material in a storage of each iot device in the set of iot devices.
