The system for provisioning computerized devices of a tenant includes an enrollment certificate authority generating enrollment certificates in response to first provisioning requests for the enrollment certificates, a second certificate authority generating digital assets for onboard units and roadside units of the tenant in response to second provisioning requests from the computerized devices. A security credential management system platform, connected to the enrollment certificate authority and to the second certificate authority, receiving the first provisioning requests for enrollment certificates for the computerized devices, routing the first provisioning requests to the enrollment certificate authority based on the tenant identification (ID), receiving the second provisioning requests for digital assets for the computerized devices, and routing the second provisioning requests to the second certificate authority based on the device identifier. Each first provisioning request includes the tenant ID, and each second provisioning request includes a device identifier.

Systems, methods, and devices for multi-stage provisioning and multi-tenant operation for a security credential management system

A system for securely provisioning a plurality of computerized devices of a tenant, is provided. The system includes a processor, and a computer storage medium including instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations. The operations include receiving provisioning requests from the plurality of computerized devices needing certificates, each provisioning request indicating a tenant identifier identifying the tenant, and transmitting the provisioning requests to a set of security credential management system backend components based on the tenant identifier. The set of SCMS backend components includes enrollment certificate authorities operable to generate enrollment certificates, each provisioning request being transmitted to one of the one or more enrollment certificate authorities based on the tenant identifier of each provisioning request, and a pseudonym certificate authority operable to generate digital assets in response to receiving a provisioning request.

An example system may include one or more application platforms (e.g., VMs) that run a registration authority and are communicatively connected to one or more compute engines that perform cryptographic computations required by the registration authority. The system may also include one or more application platforms that run an enrollment certificate authority and that are communicatively connected to one or more compute engines that perform cryptographic computations required by the enrollment certificate authority.

Systems, methods and devices are provided for provisioning a computerized device. The system may include a distributor computer that is connected to the computerized device and is operable to receive a first digital asset and transmit it to the computerized device, and a server that is connected to the distributor computer, and that transmits the first digital asset to the distributor computer when a first authorizing condition is met, the first digital asset being configured to cause the computerized device to become partially provisioned, wherein the server transmits a second digital asset to the computerized device, and the computerized device is functional after the second digital asset is transmitted to the computerized device.

Secure provisioning and management of devices

A system for provisioning computerized devices of a plurality of tenants is provided. The system includes a security credential management system (SCMS) host connected to the devices and that is operable to receive provisioning requests from respective ones of the devices needing certificates, each provisioning request indicating a tenant identifier uniquely identifying a tenant, at least one registration authority that is communicatively connected to the SCMS host and transmits the provisioning requests to SCMS backend components based on the tenant identifier of each provisioning request. The SCMS backend components includes a plurality of enrollment certificate authorities operable to generate the enrollment certificates in response to the provisioning requests, each provisioning request being transmitted to one of the plurality of enrollment certificate authorities based on the tenant identifier of each provisioning request, and a pseudonym certificate authority operable to generate pseudonym certificates in response to provisioning requests for pseudonym certificates.

Systems, methods and devices are provided for provisioning a computerized device. The system may include a distributor computer that is connected to the computerized device and is operable to receive a first digital asset and transmit it to the computerized device, a server that is connected to the distributor computer, and that transmits the first digital asset to the distributor computer when a first authorizing condition is met, the first digital asset being configured to cause the computerized device to become partially provisioned, and a provisioning controller that is connected to the distributor computer and that determines whether the first authorizing condition is met, the server transmits a second digital asset to the computerized device, and the computerized device is functional after the second digital asset is transmitted to the computerized device.

Systems, methods and devices for provisioning a computerized device(s). The system may include a distributor computer that is connected to the computerized device, and is operable to receive a digital asset and transmit it to the device.
