Abstract

See full text

When a user requests root-level access to a device, the device generates a random public and private key pair and encrypts the public key into a request message using a remote server's public key. The encrypted request message is transmitted to the server. The server decrypts the request message using the server's private key. The server encrypts an enable code into a response message using the device's public key. The encrypted response message is transmitted to the device. The device decrypts the response message containing the enable code using the device's private key. The device then enables root-level access using the enable code.
