More Information
Summary:Described herein is a device (e.g., IoT device) having bootstrap code that communicates with a secure global registry (e.g., private distributed shared blockchain database). The bootstrap code of the device uses a globally unique device identifier of the device to the secure global registry. The bootstrap code receives information from the secure global registry which the bootstrap code uses to obtain information to connect to a cloud-based endpoint. The bootstrap code can download an appropriate software development kit (SDK) associated with the particular cloud based, at least in part, upon the received information. The device can be registered in the secure global registry by creating a globally unique identifier for the device. An initial entry can be created in the secure global registry comprising the globally unique identifier, with the secure global registry stores current cloud-based endpoint information, if any, for the device.
