Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for network management are described. A network device may provide a network that is accessible using a network credential. An internet of things (IoT) device may be required to be configured or provisioned before joining the network. The IoT device may be associated with a scannable identifier. A user device may determine the scannable identifier and, based on the scannable identifier, provide provisioning credentials to the IoT device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, from a device, via a first communications network, a first notification comprising a device identifier associated with the device;
- receiving, via a second communications network, a second notification comprising the device identifier associated with the device;
- and
- based on the first notification and the second notification both comprising the device identifier, sending, via the first communications network, a network credential to the device, wherein the network credential is associated with the second communications network and causes the device to communicate with a certificate authority via the second communications network.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- based on a device identifier being sent in a first notification to a computing device, receiving, by a device, from the computing device, via a first communications network, a network credential of a second communications network, wherein the first notification is associated with an account, and wherein the second communications network is associated with the account;
- establishing, based on the network credential, via the second communications network, a communication session with a certificate authority;
- and
- receiving, by the device, from the certificate authority, via the communication session, an identity certificate.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- establishing, by a device, based on a device identifier associated with the device, a first communication session with an associated device, wherein the device receives the device identifier associated with the device based on the device identifier associated with the device matching a device identifier stored in the associated device;
- and
- receiving, from a certificate authority, via a second communication session, an identity certificate, wherein the certificate authority is associated with the associated device.
