Abstract

Provisioning a device with a certificate is contemplated. The certificate may be used to verify whether the device or a user of the device is authorized to access electronic content, services, and signaling. The certificate may be provisioned in relation to the device having successfully completed a two-factor authentication process so that an entity providing the certificate need not have to repeat the two-factor authentication process.
