Abstract
An embedded program on an embedded device determines whether a security key has been assigned to the embedded device. If the security key has not been assigned, the embedded program uses a random number that is provided by a manufacturer of the embedded device and that is stored in memory of the embedded device to obtain the security key for the embedded device. The security key is stored in the memory of the embedded device. The security key is used to establish secure connections with other devices.
