METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SERVER-INITIATED ACTIVATION OF DEVICE FOR OPERATION WITH SERVER

摘要

Methods and systems for enabling activation of a wireless communication device to operate with a server on a wireless communication network. An activation request is pushed from the server to the device, the activation request being authenticated with a signature signed with a server certificate. After the device verifies the activation request using server certificate and signature, a mutually authenticated communication session is established between the device and the server for activation of the device on the server.
