Abstract
A provisioning control apparatus coupled to a provisioning equipment server electrically connectable with electronic components each including a security enclave and a non-volatile memory. The provisioning control apparatus includes a processor configured to encrypt the security sensitive provisioning data using a secure vault encryption key for obtaining encrypted security sensitive provisioning data. The provisioning control apparatus has a communication interface configured to securely provide the secure vault encryption key to the provisioning equipment server for storing the secure vault encryption key in the security enclave of the electronic component. The communication interface is further configured to provide the encrypted security sensitive provisioning data to the provisioning equipment server for storing the encrypted security sensitive provisioning data in the non-volatile memory of the electronic component and thereby creating a secure vault in the non-volatile memory of the electronic component for securely storing the encrypted security sensitive provisioning data.
