Abstract
To provision a client application on a client device, a user may be provided with a QR code, a one-time password, or a manual entry page for starting a credential provisioning process via a credential provisioning service provided by a credential provisioning server in a secure network. The client application may include information on trusted servers operating in the secure network. The credential provisioning server may operate to perform a sequence of actions to verify user credentials and determine, based on rules applicable to the user, the client device, or a combination thereof, whether the client application is to be provisioned on a client device. If so, the credential provisioning server may operate to generate a key pair, obtain a signed certificate, encrypt them, and send them to the client device such that the client application can use them to establish a mutual secure connection with a trusted server.
