Generation, requesting, and/or reception, at least in part, of token

A method carried out at least in part by circuitry, the method comprising:

• at least one of generating at least in part, and receiving at least in part, and requesting at least in part, a token to identify, at least in part, a device to an entity, the token, as received by the entity, being encrypted, at least in part, based at least in part upon a public key of the entity, the token being generated by an authorized provider of the token based at least in part upon an identifier of the device and a signature, the signature being generated based at least in part upon a private key of the authorized provider of the token and the identifier, the token, as received by the entity, being capable of being decrypted at least in part, based at least in part upon a private key of the entity, the private key of the entity being maintained in secrecy from the device and the authorized provider.

Computer-readable memory storing one or more instructions that when executed by a machine result in execution of operations comprising:

• at least one of generating at least in part, and receiving at least in part, and requesting at least in part, a token to identify, at least in part, a device to an entity, the token, as received by the entity, being encrypted, at least in part, based at least in part upon a public key of the entity, the token being generated by an authorized provider of the token based at least in part upon an identifier of the device and a signature, the signature being generated based at least in part upon a private key of the authorized provider of the token and the identifier, the token, as received by the entity, being capable of being decrypted at least in part, based at least in part upon a private key of the entity, the private key of the entity being maintained in secrecy from the device and the authorized provider.
