Abstract

An over-the-air (OTA) bootstrap method and system are described, including: when a connection between a user-registered terminal device and a device management (DM) server is finished, the terminal device sends a bootstrap confirmation message to a service center corresponding to port information of a valid service center pre-stored in the terminal device; the service center analyzes the bootstrap confirmation message to determine a device ID of the terminal device, connects with a DM server authorized by the service center, and searches for an OTA bootstrap record corresponding to the device ID in a database of the authorized DM server; if the service center fails to find the corresponding OTA bootstrap record in the database of the authorized DM server, the service center notifies the user that the terminal device has performed an OTA bootstrap with an unauthorized DM server. The present invention can improve the security of the OTA bootstrap.
