A variation of SMS based bootstrapping. Instead of using SMS, the user connects using the device to Installation server which prompts a pincode. Otherwise the process is identical. | A variation of SMS based bootstrapping. Instead of using SMS, the user connects using the device to Installation server which prompts a pincode.

The installation server could also be located in the public Internet. We present this alternative as a variation of the "Indirect enrollment, SMS based bootstrapping" strategy, since that is probably the most secure one. | The installation server could also be located in the public Internet.

* SMS pincode can be set very long, and it is delivered using entirely different network than where it is used.
