2.2.3 Device Registration

Mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets have become a platform that people use to perform some or much of their day-to-day work. In order to take on this role, these devices often need to be registered and connected to workplace networks and resources. The device registration protocols provide a way for devices to discover registration services and then to use these services to register personal or corporate-owned devices with a workplace.

  • DVRD (Device Registration Discovery Protocol)

    The Device Registration Discovery Protocol [MS-DVRD] defines a mechanism for the discovery of information needed to register devices using the Device Registration Enrollment Protocol [MS-DVRE].

  • DVRE (Device Registration Enrollment Protocol)

    The Device Registration Enrollment Protocol [MS-DVRE] defines a lightweight mechanism for registering personal or corporate-owned devices with a workplace. It provides for issuance of X.509v3 digital certificates, and is intended for use as a device registration server. The server is known in WS-Trust terminology as an STS.

  • DVRJ (Device Registration Join Protocol)

    The Device Registration Join Protocol [MS-DVRJ] defines a lightweight mechanism for registering personal or corporate-owned devices with a workplace. It provides for issuance of X.509v3 digital certificates, and is intended for use as a device registration server. It provides a single REST-based endpoint that returns JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)–formatted data in the response message. Note that DVRJ is preferred over DVRE for device registration.

  • KPP (Key Provisioning Protocol)

    The Key Provisioning Protocol [MS-KPP] defines a mechanism for a client to register a set of cryptographic keys on a user and device pair. It provides a single REST-based endpoint that returns JSON–formatted data in the response message.
