A method including generating a mapping in response to an enrollment message received from a customer device. The enrollment message includes a device identification number (device ID) of the customer device. The mapping includes a one-time password (OTP) encrypted using the device ID. The method includes generating a quick response (QR) code including a uniform resource locator (URL), a provider certificate (CRT), and certificate signing request (CSR) content. The method includes receiving a confirmation message at a website identified by the URL. The confirmation message includes a generated public key, a CSR, and a decrypted OTP. The method includes verifying the decrypted OTP against the mapping and communicating one or more application configuration settings. The method includes securely communicating information using the one or more application configuration settings, a provider public key, a provider private key, the generated public key, and a generated private key.
