Provisioning Smart Sensors for the IoT

The internet of things (IoT) is no stranger to most of us at this point. IoT devices can be seen as belonging either to the consumer, medical, or industrial markets. Whether the device is a video doorbell, an insulin pump, or an industrial sensor, the user will face two significant challenges: 1) getting the device physically/logically connected to the network and 2) making sure that the device has the proper credentials to enable it to interoperate with other devices on the same network or with the server(s) that are expected to collect the device's data. These challenges can be largely grouped into a process known as provisioning.
