Abstract

Disclosed are various examples for distributed profile and key management. In one example, a management service can generate a partially populated device profile and provide the partially populated device profile to a client application executable on a client device. The client application can generate a credential and insert the credential into the partially populated device profile to generate a fully populated device profile. The credential can be shared with at least one other client application on the client device. The management service can use the fully populated device profile to generate multiple profiles that rely on a single credential, such as a single X.509 security certificate.
