  • Publication number: 20210314312
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for transferring device identifying information during authentication. An enrollment request is received from a management component executed by a client device. A management service generates a unique device identifier for the client device and embeds it within a certificate to generate a device-identifying certificate. The management service instructs a certificate authority service to generate a public key that includes the unique device identifier and a private key for the client device, and provides the device-identifying certificate and the private key to the client device.

  • Patent number: 11063928
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for transferring device identifying information during authentication. In some examples, an authentication request is transmitted to an identity manager. Instructions to negotiate a ticket are received from the identity manager. A ticket is negotiated from a key distribution center using a certificate comprising a unique device identifier of the client device. The unique device identifier is embedded in the ticket by the key distribution center based on verification that the certificate is valid. Authentication of the client device is completed through the identity manager using the ticket.
