Abstract
Aspects of this disclosure related to a computer-implemented method for using a first device to configure a second device to access a network. The method includes transmitting a request on a channel, the request containing information sufficient to inform a device that the system can configure the device to access a network through an access point. The method further includes receiving a response on the channel, the response sent by the device after the request and transmitting a request for security information from a server. The method further includes receiving security information from the server, using the security information to verify an identity of the device, and transmitting a security profile to the device, the security profile containing information sufficient to allow the device to connect to the access point to access the network.
