Abstract

A system and method for managing electronic devices based on user identity information is presented. An authenticating entity authenticates and provides secure user identity data and a first electronic device. The first electronic device includes memory that stores first secure user identity data provisioned to the first electronic device and a communication module that discovers a second electronic device and initiates a wireless connection with the discovered second electronic device, in which the second electronic device is provisioned with second secure user identity data, logic that has the first and second electronic devices exchange and validate their respective first and second secure user identity data, and a discovery list that stores attributes of the second electronic device. Upon determining that the first and second electronic devices are associated with the same user, the logic adds self-property to the stored attributes of the second electronic device.
