  • Patent number: 10515193
    Abstract: Disclosed is a manufacturing process and feature licensing system for provisioning personalized (device-unique) licenses to devices, with the following characteristics. The system is secure in that it uses a secure key wrapping mechanism to deliver the LSK to LPS. Another feature is that various network communication links are secured using standard security protocol. Further, application messages, license templates, licenses are digitally signed. The system is also flexible because it is configured to allow multiple manufacturers and to allow various feature configurations via the use of License Template. The system is also scalable, as it is possible to use multiple LPS hosts to serve multiple programming stations. The system is available in that the delegation of license signing capability from CLS to LPS eliminates the dependency on unreliable Internet connections. Redundant LPS hosts provide high level of availability required for high volume license provisioning.

  • Publication number: 20110258434
    Abstract: A system for generating new identity data for network-enabled devices includes a whitelist reader configured to extract attributes from a whitelist. The whitelist includes, for each device specified in the whitelist, a previously assigned identifier of the first type. The previously assigned identifiers of the first type are linked to identity data previously provisioned in each of the respective devices. A data retrieval module is configured to receive the identifiers of the first type from the whitelist reader and, based on each of the identifiers, retrieve each of the previously provisioned identity data records linked thereto.
