Abstract

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with secure cloud based multi-tier provisioning are described. In one embodiment, a method includes storing, in server-side computer storage medium, an activation key for a networked device and a set of configuration parameter values associated with an application to be run by the networked device. The method includes managing access to the computer storage medium such that access to the activation key and the configuration parameter values by unauthorized entities is prevented. Upon receiving the activation key from an authorized installation entity, the method includes identifying a configuration for the networked device comprising the set of configuration parameter values. A network connection is made with the networked device and the configuration is transmitted to the networked device, such that the configuration is not provided to the authorized installation entity.
