Abstract

A computing device determines an onboarding algorithm to use for onboarding a wireless device. The computing device determines, based on the onboarding algorithm, a first set of predefined information and a second set of dynamically generated information to use as inputs to the onboarding algorithm. The computing device generates, via the onboarding algorithm, a set of credentials based on the first set of predefined information and the second set of dynamically generated information, and uses the set of credentials to secure a connection for onboarding the wireless device.
