Abstract:
A method for post-manufacture certificate generation for an electronic device 4 comprises obtaining a public key from the electronic device 4, and enrolling the device in to a chain of trust provided by a public key infrastructure in which a child certificate is attested as valid by an attestor associated with a parent certificate in the chain. The enrolling comprises generating an electronic device certificate 30-I for the chain of trust using the public key 32 obtained from the electronic device. The enrolling is performed at an enrolment device 6 separate from the electronic device 4. The electronic device certificate 30-I is a descendant certificate of the enrolment device certificate 30-D associated with the enrolment device 6.
