Abstract:
A method for providing a secret that is provisioned to a first device to a second device includes generating a One-Time Password at the first device using the secret and obtaining an identifier of the secret. The method also includes providing the One-Time Password and the identifier to the second device and sending the One-Time Password and the identifier to a remote provisioning service. The method also includes verifying that the One-Time Password corresponds to the secret, and sending to the second device an encrypted secret and a decryption key for decrypting the encrypted secret. The encrypted secret and the decryption key may be sent using different communications methods. The method also includes decrypting the encrypted secret using the decryption key to provide the secret and storing the secret at the second device.
