Abstract
A module may have more than one device, such as an IoT device, that requires bootstrapping. A first device may be provisioned with a pre-shared key (PSK). The first device, such as an IoT device, may bootstrap in a conventional manner using its PSK. A second device without a PSK may be added to the module post-manufacture. The first device may share registration details with the second device and also with an LwM2M server. When contacted by the second device, the LwM2M server may associate the second device with the first device and treat them as one from an operational standpoint, reducing the need for pre-shared keys across domains lacking an existing trust relationship.
