Abstract
In one embodiment, an authorized signing authority server receives an authenticity request from a security registrar to vouch for authenticity of a particular device. Based on receiving the authenticity request, the authorized signing authority server may then determine an authenticity state of the particular device, and may also request a device provisioning file for the particular device from a device provisioning server, the device provisioning file defining one or more network security policies for the particular device. Upon receiving the device provisioning file from the device provisioning server, the authorized signing authority server may then return the authenticity state and the device provisioning file for the particular device to the security registrar, causing the security registrar to complete authentication of the particular device based on the authenticity state and the device provisioning file.
