Abstract

Methods and systems for managing endpoint devices are disclosed. The endpoint devices may be managed by onboarding them. To onboarding the endpoint devices, ownership vouchers and proxy certificates may be used to cryptographically verify to which entities authority over the endpoint devices have been delegated. The proxy certificates may extend certificate and/or delegation chains in ownership vouchers to other devices. The extended chains may eliminate the need for proliferation of keys used to demonstrate authority over endpoint devices.
