Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for securely distributing certificates or encryption keys. A management service can receive an enrollment request from a client device. The management service can then send a key request to a certificate provider, the key request comprising a user identifier. The management service can also send a skeleton payload to an enterprise gateway. In response, the management service can receive an encrypted profile from the enterprise gateway, the encrypted profile comprising the skeleton payload with an encryption key inserted by the enterprise gateway into the skeleton payload. Finally, the management service can send the encrypted profile to the client device.
