Abstract
A method of pairing an unregistered device with a virtual identity may include, at a first repository: receiving a request from the unregistered device, sending a pairing code and an identifier to the unregistered device, receiving the pairing code from a registered device, and sending the identifier to the registered device. The method may also include, at a second repository, receiving the pairing code and secret information from the registered device, receiving the pairing code in a transmission associated with the unregistered device, associating the unregistered device with the virtual identity using the pairing code, and sending the secret information to the unregistered device.
