Abstract
Methods and systems for managing endpoint devices are disclosed. The endpoint devices may be managed by onboarding them. To onboard the endpoint devices, ownership vouchers may be used to cryptographically verify to which entities authority over the endpoint devices have been delegated. The ownership vouchers may also include temporary delegations of ownership and/or authority from one entity to another entity. The temporary delegations may be provided as a lease, a rental, a subscription, or the like.
