Abstract

A method of device identification for enrollment and registration of an endpoint device that is connected to a gateway device. The method includes: sending an authenticated identity beacon with an endpoint device profile to a discovery service; generating, by the discovery service, a certificate request for the endpoint device from a privacy certificate authority; sending the certificate request for the endpoint device to an enrollment service; processing, by the enrollment service, the certificate request to translate the certificate request for a certificate authority; sending, by the enrollment service to the certificate authority, the translated certificate request; receiving, by the enrollment service, a certificate for the endpoint device issued by the certificate authority; processing, by the enrollment service, the received certificate for the endpoint device to translate the received certificate to represent a privacy certificate authority; and sending the certificate for the endpoint device to the discovery service.
