Abstract
A device binding system includes generating and storing at the device a unique identifier based on device characteristics and a cryptographic function. The unique identifier is then registered with an authority. The self-generation of the unique identifier allows binding with an authority to occur after the device leaves a secure manufacturing environment or even after the device is in the hands of an end-user consumer. Once the binding occurs, the device can be part of trusted transactions for location tracking, fitness tracking, financial transactions or other interactions where identity and privacy are factors.
