Abstract
A system for securely provisioning a plurality of computerized devices of a tenant, is provided. The system includes a processor, and a computer storage medium including instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations. The operations include receiving provisioning requests from the plurality of computerized devices needing certificates, each provisioning request indicating a tenant identifier identifying the tenant, and transmitting the provisioning requests to a set of security credential management system backend components based on the tenant identifier. The set of SCMS backend components includes enrollment certificate authorities operable to generate enrollment certificates, each provisioning request being transmitted to one of the one or more enrollment certificate authorities based on the tenant identifier of each provisioning request, and a pseudonym certificate authority operable to generate digital assets in response to receiving a provisioning request.
