Abstract
A method for facilitating network joining is disclosed, wherein, while a communication session is active between a network gateway and an NFC device comprised in or connected to a networkable device, the following steps are performed: the network gateway obtains a first cryptographic key associated with the networkable device; the network gateway encrypts, using said first cryptographic key, a network key associated with a network; the network gateway provides the encrypted network key to the networkable device, such that the networkable device may decrypt the encrypted network key using a second cryptographic key. Furthermore, a corresponding computer program product and a corresponding system for facilitating network joining are disclosed.
