Abstract
Methods for operating a device and for managing bootstrapping of devices are disclosed. The method () for operating a device comprises computing () a derivative of a secret shared between the device and a server entity of a network, generating () a temporary bootstrap URI by combining at least a part of the computed derivative with a static bootstrap URI for the network, and sending () a bootstrap request to the temporary bootstrap URI. The method for managing bootstrapping of devices comprises generating temporary bootstrap URIs corresponding to devices operable to connect to a network, and updating a network DNS registry to map the generated temporary bootstrap URIs to the IP address of at least one of a bootstrap server instance reachable via the network and/or a bootstrap load balancer. Also disclosed are a device, a bootstrap load balancer, a bootstrap server, and a computer program.
