Abstract
A method of bootstrapping between endpoint client and server in a low power wireless network, the method comprising: initiating a bootstrap request from an endpoint client to the server with the bootstrap request including an endpoint client name in an identifier; determining a registry apparatus to be assigned to the endpoint client; accepting the bootstrap request at the server and in response to the bootstrap request providing a security object and an identifier to the endpoint client to identify the assigned registry apparatus.
Claims20
A method of bootstrapping between an endpoint client and a bootstrap server in a network, the method comprising:
- configuring a list of resources, the list of resources associated with an additional endpoint client parameter;
- setting, prior to starting a registration of the endpoint client with a registry apparatus, at least one resource from the list of resources, the at least one resource to be made available to the endpoint client during the bootstrapping;
- initiating a bootstrap request from the endpoint client to the bootstrap server to perform the bootstrapping with the bootstrap request including an endpoint client identifier and the additional endpoint client parameter;
- in response to the bootstrap request being accepted by the bootstrap server, transmitting from the bootstrap server to the endpoint client at least one endpoint-type resource relating to the additional endpoint client parameter;
- and
- subsequent to the transmitting the at least one endpoint-type resource, transmitting from the bootstrap server to the endpoint client, additional resources including a client certificate generated during the bootstrapping and a certificate of the registry apparatus used by the endpoint client to identify the registry apparatus to enable the registration of the endpoint client with the registry apparatus.

- in response to the bootstrap request being accepted by the bootstrap server, transmitting from the bootstrap server to the endpoint client at least one endpoint-type resource relating to the additional endpoint client parameter;
- and
- subsequent to the transmitting the at least one endpoint-type resource, transmitting from the bootstrap server to the endpoint client, additional resources including a client certificate generated during the bootstrapping and a certificate of the registry apparatus used by the endpoint client to identify the registry apparatus to enable the registration of the endpoint client with the registry apparatus.

A hardware apparatus for receiving a bootstrap request from an endpoint client, the hardware apparatus comprising:
- instructions that, when executed on at least one processor, configure a list of resources, the list of resources associated with an additional endpoint client parameter;
- instructions that, when executed on the at least one processor set, prior to starting a registration of the endpoint client with a registry apparatus, at least one resource from the list of resources, the at least one resource to be made available to the endpoint client during the bootstrapping;
- an input for receiving the bootstrap request from the endpoint client to perform the bootstrapping with the bootstrap request including an endpoint client identifier and the additional endpoint client parameter;
- communication circuitry configured to transmit to the endpoint client, in response to the bootstrap request being accepted by the hardware apparatus at least one endpoint-type resource relating to the additional endpoint client parameter during the bootstrapping and subsequent to the transmitting the at, least one endpoint-type resource, transmitting from the apparatus to the endpoint client, additional resources including a client certificate generated during the bootstrapping and a certificate of the registry apparatus used by the endpoint client to identify the registry apparatus to enable the registration of the endpoint client with the registry apparatus.
