Bootstrapping Key Infrastructures
Michael D. Richardson, Michael Behringer, Max Pritikin, Steinthor Bjarnason · 2015
This document specifies automated bootstrapping of an key infrastructure using vendor installed IEEE 802.1AR manufacturing installed certificates, in combination with a vendor based cloud service. Before being authenticated, a new device has only link- local connectivity, and does not require a routable address. When a vendor cloud service is provided devices can be forced to join only specific domains but for contrained environments we describe a variety of options that allow bootstrapping to proceed.
