Device Enrollment using Serialized Application

A method performed by a first device for initiating and assisting an enrollment process of a second device to an Internet of Things (IoT) environment, the method comprising:

• obtaining a representation of an enrollment function associated with the second device, wherein the enrollment function is associated with at least one serialized enrollment application comprising enrollment information associated with the first and second device;
• deserializing the enrollment application such that enrollment information associated with the first device is separated from enrollment information associated with the second device;
• transmitting the enrollment information associated with the second device to the second device for initiating execution by the second device of the enrollment process of the second device by configuration of the second device based the enrollment information associated with the second device;
• and
• receiving from the second device configuration information associated with the second device.

A method performed by a second device for executing an enrollment process to an Internet of Things (IoT) environment initiated and assisted by a first device, the method comprising:

• receiving, from the first device, enrollment information associated with the second device;
• executing the enrollment process by configuring the second device based on the enrollment information;
• and
• transmitting configuration information associated with the second device to the first device.

A first device configured to initiate and assist an enrollment process of a second device to an Internet of Things (IoT) environment, wherein the first device comprises:

• transceiver circuitry configured for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the second device;
• and
• processing circuitry operatively associated with the transceiver circuitry and configured to:
• obtain of a representation of an enrollment function associated with the second device, wherein the enrollment function is associated with at least one serialized enrollment application comprising enrollment information associated with the first and second device;
• deserialize of the enrollment application such that enrollment information associated with the first device is separated from enrollment information associated with the second device;
• transmit of the enrollment information associated with the second device to the second device for initiating execution by the second device of the enrollment process of the second device by configuration of the second device based the enrollment information associated with the second device;
• and
• receive from the second device of configuration information associated with the second device.
