METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTHENTICATING DEVICES

A computer-implemented method for authenticating devices may include (1) identifying a request from a device for a credentialing service to issue a credential to the device, the request including an application identifier encrypted with a first encryption key, the first encryption key having been derived by the device based on a token provisioned to the device by a vendor of the device, (2) transmitting the request to the credentialing service, (3) receiving, from the credentialing service, the credential encrypted using a second encryption key, the second encryption key having been derived by the device based on the token, and (4) providing the encrypted credential to the device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
