Secure on-line sign-up and provisioning for wi-fi hotspots using a device-management protocol

A device including one or more processors, the one or more processors including circuitry, the circuitry having logic to:

• associate with a Wi-Fi Alliance Hotspot 2.0 (HS2.0)-enabled Wi-Fi network;
• establish a transport-layer security (TLS) session with a sign-up server;
• send a first OMA-DM package 3 message over a wireless link of the TLS session;
• and
• receive a first OMA-DM package 4 message in response to the first OMA-DM package 3 message, the first OMA-DM package 4 message to comprise a command to add a subscription management object (MO) to an OMA-DM tree of the device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• associating with a Wi-Fi Alliance Hotspot 2.0 (HS2.0)-enabled Wi-Fi network;
• establishing a transport-layer security (TLS) session with a sign-up server;
• sending a first OMA-DM package 3 message over a wireless link of the TLS session;
• receiving a first OMA-DM package 4 message in response to the first OMA-DM package 3 message, the first OMA-DM package 4 message to comprise a command to add a subscription management object (MO) to an OMA-DM tree of the device;
• and
• adding the subscription MO to the OMA-DM tree in response to receipt of the first OMA-DM package 4 message and based on a location specified in the first OMA-DM package 4 message.

An apparatus for a station (STA), the apparatus comprising:

• transceiver circuitry;
• and
• hardware processing circuitry to configure the transceiver circuitry to:
• associate with a Wi-Fi Alliance Hotspot 2.0 (HS2.0)-enabled Wi-Fi network;
• establish a transport-layer security (TLS) session with a sign-up server;
• send a first OMA-DM package 3 message over a wireless link of the TLS session;
• and
• receive a first OMA-DM package 4 message in response to the first OMA-DM package 3 message, the first OMA-DM package 4 message to comprise a command to add a subscription management object (MO) to an OMA-DM tree of the device.
