Abstract

A method to securely send, to the device the cryptographic key and the local wireless network credentials with an authenticity verification to ensure that the device is safe to be added to the local network. Those credentials are sent using a NFC enabled device to the internal EEPROM with NFC interface embedded on the target connected device. The method enforces the configuration setup process to avoid critical vulnerabilities in IoT devices, minimizing security and privacy issues to the final user and avoid any unauthorized device to be added to the network. When a new IoT device is added, assuming that this new device has no security key embedded and no stored authentication credentials, a secure mobile application will send that information to the device using NFC. This application has an interface to configure the device in a single step.
