Patent attributes
Techniques for configuring a device with a security context using a security context distribution service are provided. One embodiment receives, from a first device operating on a first network, a request for a security context for the first device, where the request includes a public certificate for the first device. The request is decrypted, and the public certificate is validated. A set of device requirements are determined based on a unique identifier for the first device and device claim information associated with the first device. Embodiments generate a response message that contains at least one Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate associated with the first network, based on the set of device requirements, where the response message is encrypted using a public key associated with the first device. The response is message is transmitted to the first device.
