Abstract

Various systems and methods for establishing network connectivity and onboarding for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and trusted platforms, including in Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) specification device deployments, are discussed. In an example, a zero touch owner transfer method includes operations of: receiving a first request from a new device for network access to begin an onboarding procedure with a network platform; transmitting credentials of a first network to the new device, the first network used to access a rendezvous server and obtain onboarding information associated with the network platform; receiving a second request from the new device for network access to continue the onboarding procedure; and transmitting credentials of a second network to the new device, as the new device uses the second network to access the onboarding server of the network platform and perform or complete the onboarding procedure with the network platform.
