Abstract
A method for managing identifiers associated with network-enabled devices and used in an identity data system provisioning the network-enabled devices with identity data includes receiving a first set data that includes a previously assigned identifier for one or more of the network-enabled devices that are authorized to be provisioned with new identity data. If identity data is currently installed on the one or more network-enabled devices, each of the previously assigned identifiers in the first set of data is associated with a corresponding identifier linked to the identity data currently installed on the one or more network-enabled devices to establish a second set of data. New identity data is bound to each of the one or more network-enabled devices by assigning a new identifier linked with the new identity data to each of the one or more network-enabled devices to establish a whitelist. The whitelist specifies, for each of the one or more network-enabled devices, its previously assigned identifier, its corresponding identifier and its new identifier that is linked with the new identity data.
