Abstract
Embodiments of a mobile device and method for secure on-line sign-up and provisioning of credential for Wi-Fi hotspots using SOAP-XML techniques are generally described herein. Techniques for subscription remediation using SOAP-XML techniques are also generally described herein. In some embodiments, the mobile device may be configured to establish a transport-layer security (TLS) session with a sign-up server through a Wi-Fi Hotspot to receive a certificate of the sign-up server. When the certificate is validated, the mobile device may be configured to exchange device management messages with the sign-up server to sign-up for a Wi-Fi subscription and provisioning of credentials, and retrieve a subscription management object (MO) that includes a reference to the provisioned credentials for storage in a device management tree.
