Patent attributes
Some examples include provisioning secret material onto an electronic device. For instance, an electronic device may be provided with a provisioning key that can be used for provisioning other secret material on the electronic device. The provisioning key may be encrypted at a secure location using an on-chip key that is also sent to a processor manufacturer. The encrypted provisioning key may subsequently be decrypted by an electronic device having a processor installed that includes the on-chip key. The provisioning key is saved to the device and may then be used for securely provisioning other secret material onto the electronic device, such as one or more keys, one or more digital certificates, or other digital rights management information. Accordingly, the provisioning key provides the device manufacture with the ability to securely install secret material to the electronic device using a key that is never shared outside of a secure environment.
