Abstract
A system and method for establishing a bootstrap bridge via a network interface device at an information handling system to provide a transitive bootstrapping process for an untrusted (new) information handling system, wherein the bootstrap bridge comprises a temporary network enabler for communicating with the untrusted (new) information handling system and a secure gateway for communicating with a trusted core network, and wherein the bootstrap bridge receives an authentication request from the untrusted (new) information handling system via the temporary network enabler, wherein the authentication request includes an untrusted (new) information handling system identification (ID) with temporary authentication data loaded to the untrusted (new) information handling system upon manufacture, and the network interface device to transmit a request for challenge for the untrusted (new) information handling system ID to the trusted core network via the secure gateway on behalf of the untrusted (new) information handling system.
