A device provisioning service provisions a network-connected device to access one or more service systems using a supplemental cryptographic identity of the network-connected device. An initial enrollment record (associated with an initial cryptographic identity) and a supplemental enrollment record are stored in a device provisioning service. An identity issuance request is received from the network-connected device at the device provisioning service. The identity issuance request includes the initial cryptographic identity. The supplemental cryptographic identity is requested from a supplemental cryptographic identity issuer identified in the initial enrollment record based on the identity issuance request. The requested supplemental cryptographic identity is received at the device provisioning service from the supplemental cryptographic identity issuer. The network-connected device is provisioned to access the one or more service systems according to the supplemental enrollment record. The supplemental cryptographic identity is communicated to the network-connected device.
