Abstract
A voucher management system receives, from a computing device manufacturer system, an ownership voucher that transfers ownership of a computing device from the computing device manufacturer system to the voucher management system, and a hardware attestation certificate for the computing device, and associates them with the computing device in a voucher management database. When the voucher management system determines that the ownership of the computing device should be transferred to an end user system, it automatically generates second ownership transfer data by signing an end user system public key with a voucher management system private key, provides the second ownership transfer data in the ownership voucher in order to transfer ownership of the computing device from the voucher management system to the end user system, and provides the ownership voucher and the hardware attestation certificate to the end user system.
