Abstract
Methods and systems for managing an endpoint device are disclosed. To do so, a key pair may be generated by a management controller of the endpoint device and a private key of the key pair may be kept secret by the management controller. A public key of the public private key pair may be provided to a first entity for use in generating a certificate for the endpoint device. The certificate may be provided to a second entity desiring a level of trust with the endpoint device. As a portion of establishing a secure connection between the second entity and the endpoint device, a TLS handshake may be performed. Performing the TLS handshake may include obtaining a TLS packet, signing the TLS packet using the private key, and providing the signed TLS packet to the second entity to demonstrate that the endpoint device is trustworthy for the level of trust.
